a stronger person.
Even I, myself face challenges and adversities at certain point of my life. This makes you and me equally the same. We all have our own difficulties in every way.
We may fail but this failure does not give us the excuse to get back up again. Let me quote what Winston Churchill said, "Success is never final. Failure is never fatal. It is courage that counts ”. Courage is the ultimate step towards your dream and goal. See things and situations in a different perspective. Dont always look at one direction. That direction may just be one of those pessismistic roads which lead you to nowhere. Let me tell you a story. I have a friend who was actually send to this school few years back for trying to steal expensive cars and for bullying younger girls in school to the extend of nearly killing one of them . She was caught in the end for her wrongdoings. As devastated as she was, she was sent to this school. When I first knew her, she was a person with such determination and contentment that show in her actions. What could have caused her to turn into such? Because of some family issues, she turned into someone I barely knew. When she was in this school, she did everything to rebel against everyone that wanted to help her. She had a special talent that could be developed and used for her near future. It was having the mind of a business person. Her actual goal …show more content…
and plan was to be able to study business and then, have her own company and be the top businesswoman in the world.
One day, reality strucked her when I went in to talk to her. Honestly I felt a sense of giving up in helping her. I gave her a reality check that led her to think in deep thoughts. Let me ask you, What have you done so far in this school to help yourself? Why are you wasting your time away by being discouraged when you can do something now in order to have a brighter future? And i told her this, “ No one can help you unless you help yourself ”. Right now, she is a very successful woman who owns a very big company in Hong Kong. Look, nothing is impossible to do or to achieve. You can be like her if you want to.When there is a will, there is always a way. Like I said earlier, it all starts with courage, and determination will follow you. Have a teachable heart who wants to learn everything about anything that could help you shape your future. Dont waste your time learning nothing in here. There are many values and moral that could be learned in here. Dont you want to become a better person and make your family proud? The one statement that my friend said before she left Malaysia, was this, ‘ be a change and be a difference in
your future and be someone of change in a person’s life wherever you go’. That statement gave me an uplifting sense of encouragement to continue what I am suppose to do which I am doing it now. Sometimes it is hard to always be keeping yourself on the peak of working hard, no doubt, hardships will hit you like a tsunami wave and discouragements will come your way. Nevertheless, all you have got to do is to keep looking forward in what lies ahead for you. I used to write various words of encouragement in small pieces of paper and either paste them on the wall or keep it in a box. Then, whenever I feel discouraged, I will take one note out from the box. You all should try this method to keep you from having that frown on your face and what more the heartache thats inside.
