During a lecture I know an elementary school child who is very creative and intelligent.
The indication, every time I give a challenge brain challenge game, he almost always able to conquer it, even though the first time to see the game. Though not a few friends of students who failed to conquer the brain game.
Brain games are often used also to check the IQ test,and I'll bet the boy's intelligence above average.
At that time I thought, this kid has tremendous potential and its future will be bright. Imagine, students can be defeated only when the elementary school.
Fifteen years later I met again with the child. He is no longer a child. He was already stepping over twenty years. From the story, I knew he had graduated high school but not college and already working.
Did what work?
He worked as a security guard at a small company with a very small salary because there is no other place that will accept work.
Tragic is not it?
Yes, if only the child is guided well, maybe a brighter future.
Or if his family is rich, maybe a different story.
Or maybe, if the child had a bigger dream,
looking for the right association, his fate would be better.
But I do not want to think in question, it's nobody.
I am more interested to see this as self-reflection.
Realize the story of these children actually represent the majority of us. Many people around us like this, looks so great in childhood, and so does anyone in the future.
Maybe even ourselves, too.
Why can people who have so much potential in the past ended up being a nobody? Many causes.
Maybe we surrender to the circumstances that do not support.
Maybe we're quick to surrender. Maybe we do not consider ourselves to have potential. And so many possibilities.
But the only one who can explain why we live comfortably mediocre. Since we are already comfortable with the excuse that we make to live mediocre.
Excuse the same as we've legitimized our failures.
If the child does not make his poverty,ignorance as an excuse her parents she might be bigger.
If we are not fettered excuse, maybe we are bigger than now.
Therefore, stop making excuse, No Excuse!
With the spirit of No Excuse, we can achieve anything we want.
Greetings.
