“ALWAYS CONTINUE TO GROW. IT IS POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE WHAT YOU WISH IF YOU
TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN WHO YOU ARE, AND WHAT WILLING TO BE WHO YOU WERE
MEANT TO BE…”
-EMBELLISHED MINDS
The phrase which strucked me most is the line ‘it is possible to achieve
what you wish if you take the time to learn…’. It left a deep impression to me
since I pretty much relate to it because often times, I tend to rush things and
2
forget the purpose of learning from doing it hence, making a bad fall. The
truth is, learning never stops, and trying to achieve something is not always
simple because it involves hard work, good patience, and the will to get
better. It is only when I fail and fall that I realize this. The main components to
accomplishing what you want are being open to these and prepared to put
the time and effort necessary to learn little by little.

Learning, however, involves more than just reading or studying; it also
involves having fun because not everything in life should be taken seriously.
Learning also includes identifying one's own skills, talents, and strengths. I
believe that having shortcomings too is okay since they can be a blessing. So
the next time that I make a bad slip because I am weak, I will forgive myself
because no one is perfect and everyone makes mistakes. It helps me to
understand that the best way for me to avoid making the same mistake twice
is to give myself the time to learn and be patient.

A wise man once said, ‘there is always room for improvement’ and ‘to
lose the patience is to lose the battle’. To be hopeless for me is a sign of
defeat, however, one can always rise at their feet.
