The Key to Success
Life is nothing
but one large obstacle course that abounds in plenty of hardships and difficulties. The essential key to overcoming
these conflicts is self-confidence along with
determination and courage. Not too long ago, I was able to pursue my dreams and
actualize them with the help of
these key elements.
Two years ago, my
class was assigned to participate in a play directed by our teachers. We were
informed to begin practicing right away, and I was given the role of the
narrator. We practiced and rehearsed for one month before the teachers began
sending invitations to our parents and the rest of the school. After learning
that there would be a large number of people watching, I felt tense and
nervous, for I was the central character in the play and I felt that I was not
ready to act in front of a great audience.
The night of the
play, I was on the edge of collapsing from fear. My parents and friends tried to calm me down, but all I could think of was the number of
eyes that would be staring up at me. As
I sat backstage, waiting for my cue, I tried calming
myself down.
Then I heard my name and my heart began beating
furiously. I stood up and a sudden
realization hit me. I shouldn't care for anyone's thoughts or impressions towards
me, for I could accomplish anything with my own strong will and
determination.
I took a deep breath and
entered the stage. Throughout the whole play, I did not once feel nervous or hesitant. In fact, I felt my self-confidence and
determination radiating through me. After
the play, all my friends and family came to congratulate me on my success.
I couldn't have been happier.
In conclusion, I learned from this experience that the obstacles and challenges we face in life could fall behind us immediately only if we have courage, determination, confidence, and the belief of being able to make the impossible possible.
