SUCCESS OBSTACLES



OVERCOMING OBSTACLES TO SUCCESS
The way to success is upward on the hill-top and not downwards. Climbing is difficult and tasking but it is the success way. On this way are sure obstacles you will meet. Some of the obstacles are right within you, others around while some are across the way. Looking up at success on the hill-top, your first obstacle is the thought within you – can I ever get there? Won’t I fall if I try to climb up there? This wrong mental attitude at looking at certain subjects, topics and assignments mad a lot of students to have failed. Remove the fear of failure. No student is a failure until he lies down never to try gain.
Rough surfaces, stones and pebbles abound on the hill top way of success. Yet you need to realize if the way up the hill were smooth, it will be slippery to climb. Suppose everyone who passed through secondary school and university has just been given certificate without studying, doing assignments and facing examinations. There would have been no competent teachers in our school, doctors in the hospitals, engineers in our industries and managers over the establishments.
Obstacles mould us into the very shape of success we are to achieve. It is upon the stones on the pathway of success you are to place your steps to climb higher. Obstacles offer opportunities to excel. Conflicts, disturbances, discouragements, poverty, difficult subjects and past failures should be made your stepping stone to success.
How then can we overcome obstacles? Every obstacle is a stepping stone to success. Silent every thought of failure, and impossibility within you and think right up. Set your mind positively right knowing fully well that you will overcome. Single out each obstacle and know what it is. Study and search for possible solutions to it. Stand and face the obstacle with the prescribed solution or the way out. Seek for assistance from your teacher, parents or experienced people as the case may be.
As you overcome each obstacle on the way to success, it will strengthen you to face others. Therefore never give up. You can overcome and you will overcome.
