Fate is in your own hands



The fate of a person is not calculated by others, but by his own efforts. Goethe said that who can't dominate himself is always a slave.
The 16th President of the United States - Abraham Lincoln is a model.
On February 12, 1809, Lincoln was born in a peasant's home. When he was a child, he had no chance to go to school because he was poor. He joined the school in his life for less than a year, but Lincoln was very eager to learn and had the opportunity to study.
When he grew up, Lincoln left home to work, he did everything, worked as a short-time worker, worked as a sailor, a clerk, a village postman, a land surveyor...and also worked on the gravity of lumberjacks and eucalyptus wood, no matter what he did. Serious and responsible, after Lincoln’s efforts, he became a lawyer through the examination. He won many lawsuits for the righteous and did not accept any penny from the poor. He was elected on March 14, 1861. The 16th president of the United States.
Give another example:
American basketball superstar, Michael Jordan is also a good example.
When Jordan was only a high school student, he loved basketball, but in the school team, he was often criticized by the coaches, and he was ridiculed by the players. He was almost eliminated several times. However, the head coach thinks he has the potential to stay in the team. Sure enough, a year later, he became the main force of the school team, and the results were very unexpected.
This is another good example. It is enough to show that a person's destiny is in his own hands. At first it was mediocre and unremarkable. After hard work, he finally became a household name and did great things.
The same is true for academics. A good grade is not counted by others, but it depends on your own efforts and hard work to achieve the desired results.
