“Running away from any problem only increases the distance from the solution”.
Challenges are very common for everyone. Challenges can be defined as something that needs great mental or physical effort in order to be done successfully. Everyone in society has to face various challenges. Therefore, one has to become a challenge to the challenges to achieve his or her need.
As I said, challenges are not only for us. They are for everyone. Many people couldn’t face their challenges properly. But we can find out how some people in society overcome their challenges.
One of them is Stephen Hawking, the great physicist. He was affected by the motor neuron disease which disables one’s nervous system. But he faced his challenge and came up with new theories and ideas about space and time.
Like that we have to face our challenges and we have to become a challenge to our challenges. For a victory there is always a price. Sometimes, we have to sacrifice our comfort, enjoyment and temporary well-being. But we have to be strong enough to sacrifice them for our ultimate achievement.
Once John Milton said, “Every Dark Cloud has a silver ray’. Even though it is difficult to face challenges we get many advantages from it. Challenges make individuals strong both mentally and physically. With the experience an individual becomes more mature. Maybe a challenge can be a blessing to our life. Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple was once was fired from his own company.
It was a challenge for him but finally he says that it was the best thing that could ever have happened to him. s since he was able to achieve success through that failure. I ask from you all to look at your challenges in a positive way, to enjoy your hardworking for the challenge”.
