"When there's a will, there's a way"
You must have heard this proverb before. Maybe it sounds old-fashioned but it's actually the ultimate truth. This proverb is very brilliant because it tells us that if you have any willingness for doing something and you try to fulfill your willingness, there must be some way to fulfill it. Personally, this proverb has encouraged me a lot in most of my experience of studying. Many times I’ve felt that I can do nothing but every time I look and read this proverb, it reminds me that actually I have the capability and what I need is a single will.
Many examples can be shown to support the rightfulness of this proverb. For example is an American inventor, whose name was Thomas Alva Edison. We all know that T.A. Edison was the inventor of the famous electric-powered light bulb. What is extremely interesting was the fact that he had done more than 300,000 experiments before he managed to invent the famous light bulb. Another example was Marie Curie, who was a brilliant Polish scientist. She discovered the elements, which are polonium and radium. She worked hard with her husband just to discover the elements which is now known to be radioactive elements.
These 2 examples can show us that their will to study and to help the human kind has succeeded and it shows that these examples which refer to the proverb are perfectly matched.
So, the question now is how can I practice this proverb? We have known the facts, the truth about the proverb but we still have to know how we can practice it because without action, an idea is useless. In my personal opinion, there are some ways to practice it, which are:
- don’t give up, because giving up is why so many people fail when they face difficult challenges
- if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again, because by trying more and more you become smarter and has been able to make your experience as your number one teacher
- focus on what are you doing, because if you focus, it means that you can’t be interrupted and focusing could play a major and crucial part in you success
- Don’t look behind, but look forward, because if you look behind it means you don’t have any confidence on what you are doing. Have faith! It’s the number one factor why people can succeed
- the last but the most important is you have to involve God in every thing you do because He’s the controller of our life
So, what I could say about the way we practice the proverb is “everything started with a single will but the effect of the will and the way we try to get to our point could be a massive one, which could widely affect the world around us.” There have been a lot of examples and there is no doubt that this proverb could play a major part in your success.
