One on my bucket list

Since I graduaged from colledge, I've always wanted to have a Master's degree, maybe even get a Doctorate. It's been my lifelong dream, and even on my bucket list. In fact, I put in a lot of hard work for it in the past year and took examination, but unfortunately I tried two times and failed each time. I felt bad for a long time that I could not be able to make my wish come true, beside, I batted the failure around in my heard and also picked friends' brain about it. After a serious thought, I found that there were several reasons behind it, including not work hard enough, not good learning method, think myself above my business and so on. Now I have a great fear of failure, many relatives and friends also talked me out of grasping post-graduate, whereas everytime I saw some dictas like as"The greatest test of courage on earth is to bear defeat without losing heart.", it has always inspired me.Call me crazy, I want to try it again, fight for the third time, at this moment, I will ask myself,"it is not as romantic as you might think, can you survive that?"
