The Power of Seizing Opportunities |
|
|
Some people say that opportunities are just luck that only happens to you and
not to others. Others believe that opportunities come from the favor of others,
while some say that opportunities arise from the relationships you cultivate.
However, I believe that opportunities are something you must strive for and
create on your own. You cannot rely on others to provide them for you.
When I was younger, my grandfather told me a story called "The Frog Searching
for Water." It was about a frog that was searching for water during a drought.
The frog found itself in a deserted desert and was tired and thirsty from the
scorching sun. It noticed a large rock nearby and wondered if there was water
underneath it. So, the frog began to move the rock, but it was heavy and
wouldn't budge. The little frog thought to itself, "Maybe this is a test from
God! As long as I persist and never give up, despair will turn into hope, and I
will succeed!" After much effort, the rock finally moved, and water began to
flow from underneath it. The frog drank to its heart's content and took a
refreshing dip in the small pool, thinking to itself, "If I had given up
earlier, I would have died of thirst in the desert."
This story teaches us that sometimes opportunities seem distant, but they are
actually closer than we think. As long as we work hard and create opportunities,
we will succeed. But if we give up, we will lose everything, and what was meant
for us will slip away.
Furthermore, opportunities are not something that we can wait for. Some people
think that good opportunities will come to them, but that is never the case. If
you don't seek them out, they won't come looking for you. Don't daydream; even
if your dreams are beautiful, you'll eventually wake up to reality. After all,
there are no gods in this world, and others can't help you. You have to rely on
yourself to work hard and create a better life, including opportunities.
Throughout life, there are countless opportunities. Seizing each one is like
climbing the ladder to success. Don't let them slip through your fingers, for
the next opportunity may lead you to a successful tomorrow. |
