“Life is beautiful and yet is not always like that”, my name is Mauricio Gonzalez born on June 23, 1995 and ever since I tried live my life to make me and others happy, though it is full of ups and downs it has many blessings and successes. In the early stages of my child hood I grew up in Chicago, though it wasn’t as luxurious as the place im currently living in, it was home and I loved being there. The neighborhood is where I spend my most time in playing my friends. The school I went to for the first 5 grades was pretty eventful when it came to me from making new friends, new responsibilities of being one of the school’s crossing guards and the event they hosted there. My neighbor directly to my left was my most important person, she was my first crush and my first girlfriend, though being that young it was hard to grasp what having a girlfriend was. To some people, life is hard, injustice and merciless. These set of people see life as torture throughout their entire lives that never ends. …show more content…
They therefore resigned themselves to fate, believing that their fate is locked like that. To them, nothing that they do can ever be good enough for society in whole. They take delight in committing crimes and maiming others to avenge their ill-fortune and lose their humanity through all their actions. They lost every sense of direction and most times, some of them go as far as committing suicide, just to escape the cruel hand life has meted out to them with that said I have come to the understand the harsh reality of this world which lead me to use this quote every time I think of the darkness of the human race ” The moon pierce down on a diseased world, there is no cure for the disease, an entire race waltz mindlessly into destruction, not even a man of colossal power would be able to prevent the inevitable, death no longer terrifies man, the smell of blood is as common as white plumes, so he creates slavery and savagery which surpasses the horror of dying , this can only be fought with more bloodshed and the cycle never ends”. But there are those who see life as a challenge, a tunnel of discovery and innovation, to prospect for success and find a gateway to wealth. To them life is sweet, beautiful and kind. No matter the situation these people find themselves, they keep pressing on, believing in a cause, a cause to succeed and get the everything out of life. No wonder someone said, “Where there is life, there is hope. “The will to succeed or fail lies within an individual’s power. You can live life to the fullest with utmost satisfaction and fulfillment if you focus with all your mind, body and soul to succeed. On the other hand, life can be awful to you if you take everything for granted and wait on life to pass you on. Setting of goals and strategic plans that will strive no matter the obstacles which may move against you is one of the basic things needed to get the best out of life. These goals which must be result oriented, should be followed up consistently even if things seem too fast or unyielding at first. Also, the mind is the center of everything; it controls your thoughts and beliefs. A focused mind will never fail you and a positive mind helps one to discover
