I am about to spill the beans on my quest for perfection. Imagine trying to be the superhero of EVERYTHING ,from acing math tests to baking the best ever cakes, Yeah,I was on a mission to be a superstar in every little thing.
But I'm not alone in this game. The whole world seems to be chasing this thing called "being the best." It's like everyone's racing to be the king or queen of everything. Walk perfectly, talk fancy, and be a rock star, that's the plan.

But I guess everyone's on the same boat, paddling for that golden medal. It's like there's a spotlight on the winner, shouting, "Look at the Perfect Champ!" So, whether you're baking cookies or doing a dance-off, we're all on the "who's the best" ride.
Now, hopping back to the days when I was on a quest to conquer everything. From school stuff to singing competitions, I was like a one-person circus. But guess what? Sometimes, my circus didn't get the standing ovation. Oh, the drama! Then came the days of wondering what went wrong. Not getting the first prize? It's like a nightmare!
But guess what? Life had a surprise waiting for me. I got invited to the Panic Party and received a special gift of anxiety. It was like life saying, "Hey, slow down, superstar!" And that's when a new episode began. I started giggling at my own silly mistakes. You know, the ones where you slip on a banana peel in a cartoon. I turned my bloopers into a laugh-fest.

I have always loved scribbling down my thoughts. You can think of it as texting, but with more feeling. And guess what happened? I started writing about my oops moments. Suddenly, my clumsy stories turned into a comedy show. Who knew my mess-ups could make others laugh and say, "I’ve been there too!"

Well, if you want only motivation and the perfect recipe to win the game right after falling down , then let’s be clear — I am neither a professional motivator, nor a so-called “successful” person. I have always believed in extraordinary journeys of ordinary people which made me think of some life lessons.

Let me share some of my life lessons with you:

1. Oops moments? They’re like surprise guests at a party of life – embrace them!
2. The definition of success is different from one person to another.It’s like picking your favorite ice cream flavor.
3. People will always judge,but who cares? Let them do their thing while you dance to your own tune.
4. Laugh at your own bloopers. Those are the moments you’ll remember with a smile when you get old.
5. Laughter is like a secret power share a laugh, even if it’s at your own expense. But never let someone else humiliate or bully you in the name of fun.

6. Falling? That's okay! It's like taking a moment to breathe and prepare yourself better, unless you are giving up.

By the way, I'm just a twenty-something woman, working in IT sector with a love for writing and humor, sharing life's silliness. So, let's give a high-five to our "Oops" moments and enjoy the rollercoaster called life.
