What did Malala’s father tell her about coming in second place in school?

What chapter are you referring to?

chapter 5

From the text:

I looked up at my father. He was smiling. When the judges announced the results at the end, Moniba had won. I came second. It didn’t matter. Lincoln also wrote in the letter to his son’s teacher, ‘Teach him how to gracefully lose.’ I was used to coming top of my class. But I realised that, even if you win three or four times, the next victory will not necessarily be yours without trying – and also that sometimes it’s better to tell your own story. ch 5
