Hello to everyone in this community, I believe we all are in good state of mind and as such I come with a warm welcome to us all.
I welcome you all to yet another engagement contest that has been brought forward by one of the reputable MOD in this community known as @lhorgic. Today, I will be participating in his contest which has been titled what will be will be.
It will be a wonderful ride, and as such, I invite you all to hop with me on this one as I drop my entry to the contest today.
WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHT ABOUT THIS STATEMENT, DO YOU AGREE WITH IT?
My perspective about this statement is quite versatile, it depends on the scenario which this statement is applied to. Now, if we are to apply this statement in our everyday life, I'd say that I agree with this statement.
The statement is talking about the happenings of life. It is a statement beyond our own thoughts and doings and since we do not have a say about what the future holds for us all, we then use this saying to console ourselves.
Sometimes, the statement comes to reality, and other times we have to work for it before we can get to where we want to be.
Now, for example, if a young one wants to succeed in life and that same young man have nothing meaningful doing, doesn't go to school, no handwork or a skill to back up his plan for success, then that same young man now come to tell his friends that what will be will be.
We all know that he is not gonna succeed by doing nothing, so I do not think that the statement actually works that way. Yes we all know that no matter how hard we try to succeed, if we do not work so hard for it, then we will get to nowhere.
Often times the statement is mostly used by people who have given up and accepted their fate by relying on mother nature to decide for their fate.
DO YOU THINK THIS STATEMENT IS VALID OR MISLEADING?
For me, with the said review on ground, I can only but say that the statement is misleading. It is a harmless statement that everyone should hope on while struggling, but a lot of people have given up already, and then holding ontop the statement vehemently.
I have seen individuals with a particular statement that says school is a scam, they do not need to go to school before they can make it in life, what will be, will be. Those words consistently rings in their head and as such, they dropped out of school, holding on to the word what will be will be without working towards attaining meaningful life.
Now you can as well agree with me that, the statement is misleading only when we do not understand how the statement works, but of a truth, the statement is correct because, we have seen people getting to places out of favor and not merit, so such scenario is as a result of the statement since no one knows tommorow. But if one is ignorant, it can mislead a person.
DO YOU HAVE ANY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE TO BACK UP YOUR TAKE?
I sure do. I have a personal experience as at the time I lost my dad during my adolescent stage. That was the stage when peer group influence was much on me, and my friends were like I should just chill and hang out with them.
They said if I will make it, I will make it and if I won't, I won't and as such, I should forget about everything and enjoy my life.
But I had a different opinion, **yes I know what will be will certainly be, but I have to work for it. So I declined their offer totally. I stoped mingling with them and I was steadfast in working hard. I looked for a job to do and I was diligent in it.
It was from that same job that I managed to sponsor myself in school today. Now I am a shop owner as a result of me going out to hustle, not allowing the statement to mislead me.
Now most of the people that asked me to stay calm and trust the statement are all doing nothing and getting worse daily. They have become nuisance and hoodlums on the street. I would have been part of them if I had relied solely on the statement.
IF YOU WERE TO REPHRASE THIS STATEMENT, WHAT WOULD THE NEW ONE BE?
Well for me, If I were to rephrase this statement, I will make sur I insert a necessary condition that will qualify the statement so well and the new one will be said as what will be will be if we work hard for it
The if inbetween shows that there is a condition applied to it. Whatsoever you are hoping for, it will be only if you work hard for it. With this way, it will not be misleading anymore.
CONCLUSION
It was a wonderful contest I tell you. Thank you all for taking your time to go through my article tpday. I will like to invite @v-brainer, @skilocy and @jenny281 to participate in this contest today.
What a nice take! I agree with most of your points and when you give your personal experience (like I did) it makes it trustworthy.
