Opportunity and Determination
Everyone dreams of attaining success in his career. However, the way to success is not a smooth one. It is full of difficulties and obstacles. Whether one is able to gain success or not depends largely on the attitude he is to adopt towards difficulties or even failures. Faced with frustrations and setbacks, those who have a dogged determination can stick to their cause to the end so that they stand a chance of success. On the contrary, those whose determination is often weakened by difficulties can end up nowhere.
Determination is the key to success. With a strong determination, one is able whatever hardships or dangers he may face. Take Sun Yat-sen for example. In spite of his failures, he continued to make unremitting efforts to pursue his objective and mortgaged his life to the revolutionary cause. As a result, he did not fail to live up to the expectations of Chinese people and eventually overthrew the Qing Dynasty.
In addition to determination, opportunity is also indispensable to one’s success. Without opportunities, one, sometimes, can hardly display his talents, competence and abilities. Nor can he have his power into full play. But opportunities seem to favor those who have inflexible determination and resolute perseverance. Furthermore opportunities wait for no man. As the saying goes, “ Opportunity knocks but once.” Therefore we must utilize every opportunity and not let it slip away.
