A situation in which we have to make a difficult choice between two or more things is a dilemma. Everyone has to face such situations in their life.
When I was in Grade 3, a child who was really fond of playing games rather than studying, but I had never failed any examination as I used to study the day before the test. Once examinations were approaching, and my father told me to start studying instead of playing every day. I didn't bother as my heart told me to go out and play. At the same time, my mind continuously reminded me about my examination and to study as I may fail my upcoming examination. I listened to my heart rather than my mind, not thinking about the outcome. At the time of the test, I could not remember what I had learned the day before the exam; thus, I failed the exam.
Later on I regretted making the wrong choice, from that day onwards, I decided to listen to mind rather than my heart.
