No Choice
I recalled my Mathematics teacher saying that he had once detested one of the topics in Mathematics. Anyway, he soon realized that complaining about it was of no use as he could not avoid having to learn it. From this lesson, he told us two words that kept him going in his studies, “NO CHOICE”. These words may sound not at all bombastic, but I found it very inspirational instead. This were the seeds for my article which I hope to share with all.Those words ‘no choice’ are very correct; applicable in the past, present and future. We had no choice but to brave the storms that came into our lives. We had no choice but to let nature take its course. These are indeed very true. We have to face any problems head long, and there will not be any solutions if we just keep on nagging and complaining about these frustrations.
In our education, we have abundant stress and difficulties to cope with. Just like my teacher, we may be facing topics or subjects that we are not be able to handle well, and so complaining all the time about these irritating studies. My recommendation is to stop, think and change the way we feel about. To stop is to block out these complaints; to think is to see your attitude towards the subject from other’s point of view, and thus, to change our mind set. Though I myself also feel that it is hard to do so, we really have to consider these stresses and difficulties as something we really have no choice on. We just have to learn it for our own good. What else better than facing them and making the best out of it?
Pondering in depth on this phrase ‘no choice’, we can easily make references to our lives: the disabled people. We were born physically challenged. As such, we faced a lot of difficulties and obstacles in our life and we must learn how to face them. If we are not brave or willing enough to tackle them, we will be swamped with more challenges. The difficulties include being stranded in our homes, not being able to come out and face the society; and living a life of boredom and depression. Hence, we have to be willing to face them! We need to be bold to stand up against all odds! There is no choice escaping disability. We were made this way.
Instead of grumbling and complaining about the problems we meet, why not learn to face them boldly to stand out amongst the rest? With this, I would like to conclude with these two very meaningful words: no choice !
