Everything can be changed with time. In fact, change is inevitable as our thoughts change with time. It's very natural our beliefs can be changed with time.
In the past, I used to believe that dominating my emotions and working like a robot could ensure success. Since childhood, I have been an introvert person. I used to talk with a few people and less communication with others. I noticed that my emotions always told me now to work hard and enjoy the time. I knew that it was not the right message, and because of it, I tried to do something against the emotions. By doing so, I noticed that the success rate in work has increased. I started to believe that doing something against my emotions is the thing that can be helpful to achieve success. Temporary success made me more confident about the statement. After I started to believe it, I followed it seriously.
In the beginning, it wasn't something serious, but with time I started to dominate my emotions. I stopped attending family functions, reunion parties, and so many things because I thought all of those were a waste of my time, and to achieve something big, I should avoid such things. I just tried to make my time most effective for my career. As I didn't value emotions, I missed most of the family functions, reunion parties, and spending quality time with friends. In a word, I became a human robot, and I was proud of myself.
The intermediate exam was the most important exam of my career, and I was always serious about it. I didn't slack off, but the result was disappointing to me. The result was good but not so good for what I made effort. I didn't blame luck for it because I think I was responsible for the result. Seeing the result, I was shocked and started to think I made a huge sacrifice for it but the output was not so impressive compared to my effort. I regretted missing many beautiful moments of my life. There was no way I could recover from my loss. I was disappointed in myself because dominating my emotions all the time was kind of torturing me.
Instead of not getting the expected result, I managed to get admission to one of the top universities in my country. But the shock gave me a reminder that dominating emotions can't ensure success, and if I do so, another shock may break down completely. So, I tried to value the emotions also. It was not an easy task for me in that state. It took several years to come from that kind of mindset. I noticed that something giving value to emotions can make me happy. I started to care about emotions, and I think it was not an obstacle for me as long as I could make a balance. I am sure even if I became a failure, I would not regret missing many beautiful moments.
My mindset changed, but still now, in the case of my academics, I am achieving success even if I care about my emotions. In fact, I feel I am happy with such a situation. I learned the lesson that balancing emotions and hard work is the best thing that can ensure success. It's not necessary to be a robot to achieve success in life.
