Always look towards the future

I had an experience this past week, where I learned a very important lesson.  I had a giant test in one of my finance classes that I had been preparing for, for a while.  I took the test and after seeing my score was very frustrated that I could spend so much time studying and not get the kind of grade I feel that I deserved. At first I was really angry with myself, and was trying to piece together what I could have done better.  I thought at the time that everyone in my class surely did better and I simply was not as smart as the rest of my talented class.  The following class after the test I found out that everyone had actually done about what I had done and I started to feel good about myself again. This made me feel so silly getting so worked up over this test.  So what did I learn from this experience-don't focus on the future. And remember not to let things such as test scores define you.  Now I will hopefully be able no to let things that don't really matter get the most of me and focus instead on constantly improving.
