Hi everyone,This is my second post for the week, and it's about my quote. Here it goes:
"The secret of success in life is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes."
-Benjamin Disraeli
Not all of the people in our community has the opportunity to study in University of Guam like we do. In fact, as what my sociology teacher had said; that some people would trade anything to be in our shoes - to be a student. I think that each and every one of us here is very lucky to be able to pursue higher education. This is a one big step to our personal success in the future. Same concept applies to other people - people who works,and travels; and even the common folks. Opportunity is like a knock on our door, we just have to open it and grab the opportunity that will come to us. If a person continues to sit there, idle, hesitant to accept opportunity, he/she will not be able to experience personal growth and happiness of achieving something - of achieving success. You will never see what lies beyond anything if you're too afraid to take any risks. Being ready for opportunities that are to come to our life, is being ready to take the road to success.
That is the meaning of Benjamin Desraeli's quote for me, and is a very suitable motivational guide for college students like me. Hope my fellow classmates can learn something from this.

Clare, I can intellectually connect with your thoughts. Until recently, I could not afford my college tuition and I know how appreciated I am to have this opportunity. I shall give 110% of my effort to place myself to be wherever I want to be. Thanks for the great words!!
ReplyDeleteClare, I completely agree with you. When an opportunity comes your way, you need to go for it and give it all you've got because you never know when you'll get another chance. We are all very lucky to have the opportunity to go to college and pursue our education because in some parts of the world, people only dream about such opportunities that we have in our country today. Your quote was very inspirational and I look forward to reading your next blog. -Sam
ReplyDeleteAlong with the others, I really can connect and agree with you on this post. If it weren't for fafsa and my loan, I wouldn't even be here. I really do feel lucky to have this opportunity. The same goes for opportunities. I used to be that idle, hesitant person letting things pass by me. However, now I do the exact opposite and things have been going good.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the cool posts :]
