NISA AMALIA FARI’AH BT ZULKOFLI

Life is not easy than we thought. When we were child, we always think that we grow
older, life will be more beautiful like in fairy tales. It was just an imagination and totally fantasy
more beautiful than reality. Of course, all of us had go through difficult times in life.From that,it
makes us build up the strength within yourself to make it through anything.Robert Schuller
ever said “Tough times never last,but tough people do”.Sometimes going through hard times
is beneficial. It makes us be more tougher,stronger and more successful.Always take the
positive side when we’re going through this difficult times,so that we become more positive
and brave to go through this alone without anyone help.We must always think “We can do
this”,so we will become more enthusiastic.There is no denying that,not everyone enjoys the
experience when we must face difficult times in our life,but do you ever think,when we faced
that,its totally teach us many things and also it’s give so many benefits to us. So, going through
this difficult time can make us the ones who always believe in ourself or confidence,become
independent person and not easy to give up and always striving.

First and foremost,we cannot deny that when we were faced difficult times in our
life,automatically it make us be more believe in ourself and be more confident.How we can be
more confident after trough difficult time?It is because we must try to talk to ourselves how we
can trough it alone?Also you don’t need anyone when you faced it.Because you’re brave and
you’re confident and believe you can through it alone.Now we can see how difficult time
change us from negative to positive. “Thoughts” are everything.It determine what we have to
do and our emotions.Positive thought will lead you to positive way.So from difficult time,only
we know how great we are handle the situations and the most important is how great we
handle ourself.Only certain people can handle their self when they had to face difficult time in
their life alone.Joyce Brothers once said ““Success is a state of mind. If you want success,
start thinking of yourself as a success.” Hard time will always help us become more stronger
because we already know life is tought but we are tougher.So,positive thoughts can make us
be more confident and believe in ourself when we are faced with difficult times in life.

Furthermore,from difficult time in our life we also learn that we must not easy to give
up and always striving.When we are in difficult time,is just the beginning of the journey of life
to get to the next phase.Remember this “Life’s a climb,but the view is great”- Miley
Cycrus.Don’t worry if today we got so many trouble and feel unlucky,because you must
remember the taste of success is sweeter.It’s okay to not be okay.Everyone had their own
problem and different difficult time but not everyone can make difficult time to be the greatest
lesson.So,be the first who make difficult time to greatest lesson to yourself.It is because we
must believe everything happens in this,there must be a lesson.For example,today you lost
your job and who knows tomorrow you get the best job is it suitable for your life.No one know,
what happens today will effect your tomorrow.So,don’t give up just because a small
matter.We’re brave enough to face this small matter.However,we must put ourself in a positive
environment first and always striving to face difficult time with peacefully.But,we must
remember that don’t ever make a hasty decision because it will cause effect to us
soon.Sometimes,difficult times also teach us that not everything we want is easy to get.On the
other hand,it need continuous effort to get what we want.Winston Churchill once said
““Continuous effort not strength or intelligence is the key to unlocking our potential.”

Subsequently,from difficult times also we can become an independent person. How
can it be? From now on,you must remember not everyone with us when we are faced difficult
or tough times,so don’t depends on others. No matter how many friends you have,when you’re
in difficult time they will leave you sooner or later. So, from that you must solve your own
problem wisely and don’t expecting others to help you. Also, from difficult time we can
learn,self is more valuable than others.It is because only you can solve and through your
difficult time. Here we can see that how difficult times can make us learn from this, if we have
always hoped for others before, then this is the right time for us to learn to live independently.
We must always remember “ All good thing must came to an end. ” Moreover, when we are
faced difficult times in our life,it teach us discover what really matters to us and what
doesn’t.Only prioritize what matters to you, such as your family,your career and the most
important is yourself.Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe once said, “The things that matter most
must never be at the mercy of the things that matter least” .So, from now on we must realize
what’s really important to us and what we really care about it.

In conclusion, if we see the meaning of “difficult times” is bring the negative meaning
for us.But we can make the negative meaning to the positive meaning. We take the positive
side when we’re faced difficult times.Such as, confidence, not easy to give up and
independent..So,we must believe life has its ups and downs.Difficult times can help us rethink
our view on the world and teach us how we should live our live properly. “Learn from
mistake”.Moreover,we must believe that everyone had faced their own difficult times ,but we
must accept it and let it become our strength.Let it shape us.Difficult times is not pleasant
experience to go through challenging times,but it is comforting to know us survive it.We will
stronger and be more successful in the long way.Joseph P.Kennedy once said “When the
going gets tough,the tough get going”
