"If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere" Frank A. Clark. Everyone has experienced challenges and difficulties in his life which made him stronger, and able to endure life's obstacles. I, like everyone, have faced impediments that made me feel powerless, hopeless, and miserable. Even though sometimes I thought my obstacles are too small to mention, but now I believe they have role which brought me to where I am today. In my country, in order to get accept in universities, there are two tests (SAT reasoning, and SAT subject) every student has to take it. I really struggled with the first one. I studied hard for the first time; I was staying up until the midnight, and sleeping a few hours. In the day of the
Life is like an obstacle course, you run into multiple obstacles on the way to the finish line, and there's no telling how many hindrances you may encounter. Very few people can go their whole life without obstacles along the way, others can’t seem to get away from them, but with every obstacle comes a beneficial or deleterious concomitant.
Obstacles are unavoidable parts of our lives. Obstacles constantly come in the way and slow us down. However, these obstacles should not be viewed as being harmful. They are essential factors in order for one to succeed. They can change the course of one’s life, and encourage one to work harder. Therefore, obstacles can be beneficial.
Everyone has trials and tribulations in life, and we all face different ones. One story that really spoke to me is the one where the man who moves the rock from the middle of the road finds the bag of gold. The problems in life aren’t going away, so trying to avoid the pitfalls in life is just going to cause more issues. It is important to solve the trials we are faced with instead of running away.
Most would see obstacles as a make it break moments when it’s more like a wound where your wings will grow from. Letting you fly above the rest showing those who doubted you would make it, what the wound of your obstacles fueled you to accomplish. Thus proving, that your obstacle is the dessert in your mind calling to you so can fall into it endless abyss of doubt, but how does one challenge and succeed such a beast know as adversity. Thenceforth, bringing the answer that they might alter their lifestyle to overcome what lies ahead or they might always be able to find their light even if in the bleakest world to find their strength endure even more. These might be ones different ways to sprout their wings, but every person who has ever overcome
Challenges in life are like obstacles, some are easier than others, and some are harder. Some obstacles will always have an impact. Life is constantly changing, which means obstacles are changing too. It just means you have to adjust. Sometimes the obstacles we face are impossible to overcome, so we end up having to create a new path for ourselves.
Everybody has challenges in life. People that are able to conquer their obstacles are very amazing. Elizabeth Kübler-Ross once said '' The most beautiful people I've known are those who have known trials, have known struggles, have known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.'' This quote basically means the most outstanding people are the ones who are able to dominate the difficulties that come in their way.
Regardless the situation or where one is in life, everyone will always run into obstacles.. It all depends on how we choose to learn from it, such as others’ may call it “learning from our mistakes”. Eventually as an individual we all grow up over the years with a different mind set on how we view things and life will throw some crazy things at us. There will be many hard things that someone will go through but they’ll overcome it and that’ll make them stronger as a person. After going through an obstacle in life, it can give people a new perspective on life and give them the opportunity to change things for the better good.
Obstacles change our way of thought and affect our emotions. A person’s values change as well as their character and they develop an understanding on their situation. Through the hardships of any situation, there is some way or another a solution only in the presence of desire.
“I’m thankful for my struggle because without it, I wouldn’t have stumbled across my strength.” – Unknown author. Why does this quote describe myself? Well, let me tell you! When I was deciding on a quote, my mind kept coming back to the question, “What obstacles have you overcome?” Of course my biggest obstacle being type 1 diabetes. When being diagnosed with a chronic illness with no cure at any age is hard, but when you are diagnosed the second week of seventh grade, it’s almost an indescribable situation. It’s as if you have been ripped from your old, normal life and put into one that revolves around finger pricks, shots, and ridicules amounts of juices. With the first year being a roller coaster that only went down, I was finally able to take a long ride up that came with success, happiness, and a new life path. I was able to find true friends, start a healthier lifestyle, and most importantly, start living as the ‘real’ me. With this exciting new “life path” I was able to excel in school, sports, and in the way I handle diabetes. I was able to join three new clubs,
There are plenty of obstacles, challenges and problems out there ready to get right in the way of plans, dreams and goals; there’s those that will grow into bigger problems and those that will reduce in size, if not resolved. Depending on whether, we decide to avoid them or face them head on; which we all have done at one time or another in our lives and got us to where we’re at today. Then there’s everyday life, that throws new complications and encounters at us every day; which is also another thing that everyone is endlessly faced with, and what we must deal with immediately to survive and overcome; prior to allowing it grow bigger and get out of control. Those too are obstacles, challenges and problems that make life fascinating and overcoming them; is what makes life meaningful.
“Embrace each challenge in your life as an opportunity for self-transformation.” (Bernie S. Siegel)Challenges is inevitable in our life. It is painful, but it will become a great treasure in our life as long as we dare to facing it. Even I’m still young, I have already faced to thousands of challenges.
“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” ~ Michael Jordan
When taking the SATS, the environment and timing are extremely important. In many students eyes, the SATS are too early in the morning, and go on for an extensive amount of time, in a less than ideal test-taking environment. When studying for the SATS, it causes students to develop strategies to do well rather than actually developing an understanding for the information and increasing their knowledge. One of the main
In my society I hear people talking about their problem and the hardships they have encountered. As a Highschooler and rising college freshman, I myself have had numerous difficulties. It is typical for a person including myself trying to take the easy way out or restrain oneself from challenges, but I found far less of what truly is considered a success. After all Success is a manifestation of a resolved challenge. That is why a quote by Booker T. Washington “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed.”
Overcoming obstacles can be challenging for all people. Whether the struggle is at work, school, or in personal matters, we all face obstacles every day that we have to overcome. It is important to understand these struggles as well as how successful people have moved forward and persevere. In “Where there is a will, there’s a way” by Anna Harrington(2012), the author talks about ways that we can be stronger. She also shares tips on the support systems a person can use to overcome obstacles.
