This life is full of mysteries and that's why there's many challenges of life that comes in the form of storms. One thing we can't take out of life is it ups and downs nature which simply means, the journey of life is not a smooth one. No wonder there's a popular saying that says that, life will not give you what you deserve. It's indeed the bitter truth about life.
So, in the journey of life, one thing is never to give up no matter how fiery or scary the storms or challenges that may come our way. One thing about these storms and challenges of life is that, they are there to mould and strengthen us with experiences to which to sail through the journey of life and not only that, also to scale through the hurdles of life as it comes. The only thing is never to give up in life.
With all I have said in my introductory paragraphs, i will like to share my little experience on how the storms and challenges of life has helped in shaping my life. Though it's was tough for me to pass my SSCE exam during my secondary school education and to even gain admission into the university was also not easy back then, but because of my never say die attitude, I was able to weather the storm and overcame the challenges that faced that particular phase of my life.
As if that's was not enough, after my victory over the earlier mentioned challenges of life, another storm of life came my way and this time around, it's the support pillar of my life that collapsed and left me suddenly without bidding me her final goodbye. It's my mum's death. When she was alive, she promised me heaven on earth, she'd promised to see me through the journey of life, most especially my academic journey, but her sudden death broke the camel's back, her death was so painful, but what could I do? Then it all seemed like the world was over, but I didn't really let that affect my journey in life as I have always believed that, there's no excuse for failure and this my simple belief was what propelled me in not giving up. Though it's not that easy, but my inscripted Motto: Never give up. Kept pushing me to overcoming and weathering the storm. Thank God I didn't let all the storms and challenges of life overshadow me back then I wouldn't have achieved anything in life.
So, like I said earlier, life doesn't give what one deserve, and to overcoming the challenges and storms of life, one must not relent on his or her oars but instead push on to overcoming the life challenges. Though, it might not be easy, but one can overcome by NOT GIVING UP. So, the situation of this life and what I have experienced and become has taught me NEVER TO GIVE UP. All I need is to belief in myself and never give up. So, this My NEVER GIVE UP Motto has really helped me in the journey of my life. And before I go, for you and I not to give up, we must know that the best form.of defense is to attack and what this means is that you attack the storms and challenges of life by NOT GIVING UP.
