Moving beyond one's pain

Saw an article today.
Here's the link for it.

http://sg.news.yahoo.com/blogs/singaporescene/schools-producing-losers-130655100.html

The writer says :" When I was a student I achieved a lot of academic success and I was eventually awarded an overseas scholarship. But all of this came at a high price. I was constantly sleep-deprived; I neglected important relationships; I was obsessed about my academic performance; I suffered from low self-esteem and depression.

As a teenager, I reached a point where I was acing every test and exam, but felt like I was failing life. I was pursuing all of these things that I thought would make me happy, but I was becoming more and more unhappy.

Other people saw me as a winner, but I saw myself as a huge loser."

Important to move past that poisonous perspective that one is a loser.
