The pain of disappointment

Days after the board exam results, I don't know what really will I feel. Will I feel disappointed because I didn't make it? or will I feel happy for my friends who made it? or will I feel sad because they are worrying about me?
From these questions, the most real feeling is i guess the last one. I can see disappointment in their eyes, they feel sorry for me, they feel awkward because they didn't know how to comfort me.

I will tell you my friends, you don't have to feel this way, I feel great and i don't feel anything bad (except for my aching tooth!). My board exam is matter of risk taking for me. Risk is a sacrifice for something. Its either you end up winning or winning. In risking, you don't lose, you always win. If you "lose" for that risk, it' something you won for the future. Its a step you take forward for another risk.

Another factor which would tell why i don't feel sorry for myself is guess I gave it all to Him. I was praying for His guidance and praying for His will. I didn't pray for passing the exam, I just prayed I want to pass. I studied and sacrificed things for this, and prayed for Him to decide for my life. So i guess, It's what He wants.
