Are You a Beethoven or Not ?
Tuana DOĞRUYOL
We come across many obstacles during our life . Sometimes we overcome these obstacles easily but sometimes we have difficulties overcoming them . They may force us or may cause suffering . At these times , we have two choices . The first one is to accept them as our destiny and let them defeat us . It means cowardice and running away from difficulties . The second choice is to fight to change our destiny . It means courage and struggling against them . If we want to face up to difficulties , we can start with our point of view . Instead of seeing the obstacles as problems , we can use them as stepping stones to take us up in our life adventures . When we come across them , we must not give them the opportunity to beat us , and we must organize the situation in our favour . Think that the project which you ’ ve given lots of effort for a long time is rejected . Most probably , you will be upset and won ’ t want to study in the same area again . Instead , why not think to identify the mistakes and be competitive ? Let ’ s think of Beethoven as another example . He could have given up after losing the sense of hearing , but he didn ’ t . On the contrary , he chose the hard way and tried to do his best . Moreover , he created the unique piece “ Symphony . 9 .” To sum up , everything is in your hands . Wouldn ’ t you like to be Beethoven of your life ?
