Perseverance is a key quality any successful people should have, but several times of poor GMAT scores had strongly troubled my confidence, and I, especially after walking out of the test centre and seeing my girlfriend waiting there every time for my good news but left with disappointment every time, could not help to start doubting my ability to take this MBA course. Some people would be told to give up, or give up by themselves. But I believe the road to success is strewn with setbacks. I have succeeded before in my life, and have failed before too, but I just would not give up on anything I made up my mind. GMAT may be an ordinary test someone considered just a requirement to pass, but I took it as a process of self-improvement: My maths foundation is not solid because of early oversea study, then I studied it all over again; My writing is too oral, then I studied the formal business writing; Four-hour test is a big challenge to our concentration, then I trained my anti-fatigue ability. GMAT was a challenge for me, but the biggest challenge is myself. Many people would worry whether they’re fallen behind by others, and worry what other people think of them if they have failed badly. But to me, beating myself is the right way of improvement.
