Don't Waste Opportunity

In my local comedy club, I had a good reputation because I often won some local comedy competitions. Until finally a national comedy competition was opened and I was the only one who got a golden ticket among my comedy club friends. 

So I could go into the qualifying round without having to do the normal audition. But I refused to use the golden ticket because I felt just like ordinary ones and I wanted to compete normaly with my friends at the audition round.

I do the regular audition and after my performance, the judges said that my performance was not good enough and I faild the audition. At that time, I felt very brokenhearted because I had failed the hopes of the people that believe in me. 

When I was accepting my faith and ready to get out of the room, the judges stop me and told me it was just a prank. Apparently the committee and the judges planned it all for the contestant who rejected the golden ticket just for fun.

The end of the story I make it until the final round then won the 3rd place, sometimes thinking these stories kind of pissed me. I learned an important lesson to not waste any opportunity that you had!
