Do Not Bow to the Inevitable

Evla HAS

Life has hit us with big blows like no one else has done . It continues to strike , but the important thing is not how strong these blows are . The important thing is your resilience against obstacles by saying , “ giving up is the last option ”, despite those blows . Everyone has a gem in them that they can prove themselves to the world .
First and foremost , it is important not to bow to the inevitable . Stephan Hawking was diagnosed with incurable Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis disease that paralyzed him . Nevertheless , Hawking was able to communicate with the help of a smart wheelchair and a computer that assisted him in verbalizing the ideas that were going in in his mind and made great contributions to science . Likewise , Beethoven composed the 9th Symphony after losing his hearing . They did not complain about their lives . They did not say , “ why me ” or “ why do I have to live this ” and they walked through this path fearlessly without bowing to the inevitable . They did not listen to what others said . They are real warriors on earth . The common characteristics of people who have overcome obstacles in history are that they were brave enough to make a castle from the stones that life threw at them , and they knew that if they did not believe in themselves , they would not have had a life of their own .
To conclude , do not forget that even if you die , what you have done will be transferred among people . You can only exist in this way : make contributions to the world and work hard to help others , do not give up and be inspired . Do not bow to the inevitable . You can overcome obstacles .
