Aspire before you are going to expire

Sir
Most people are held back, not by their intrinsic ability, but by their mindset (our minds are like fluid easily channeled or rather influenced, be mindful of bad humans and what you watch on TV).
They maintain that intelligence is rigid, but it isn’t. Your brain is like a muscle. The more you use it and struggle, the more it grows and you are able to make healthy decisions in life. The hurtful events you are currently experiencing are seasonal. You may only overcome your hardship once you develop consistent good habits or rather efforts each day. I maintain that you will indeed be at ease with your hurtful events and you will feel much stronger tomorrow. You may relate to the following example:
Mohammed is learning how to drive a car. The first few lessons are very difficult but as he perseveres, controlling the steering wheel, using the various pedals and keeping an eye on the road at the same time, he becomes fearless. In fact after several lessons it actually becomes quite easy. With experience one can converse and observe everything outside and at the same time maintain complete control of the steering wheel and the pedals. Now, if Mohammed had to give up after the first few lessons would he have obtained a driving license? The answer is no. He would end up using public transport for the rest of his life. In fact knowing that being able to drive is an absolute necessity, a person will try again and again even after failing 15 driving tests. You will only persevere knowing that success will follow only if you exert effort. Likewise to be successful in life is undoubtedly very difficult in the preliminary stages; however it will get easier and easier until it becomes part of you. This will only happen after an immense effort applied. Through ongoing good effort each day one can stop talking about his/her dreams and actually start to forge his or her destiny.
I maintain that humans are in nature self-centered therefore be mindful who you tell your dreams to, because human beings may hold evil thoughts for you not to achieve your dreams. One must appreciate the time he /she has because time is value, take a second and imagine if the world never had time ,the world will not have order. Be inspired and geared to succeed in life before you expire.
