Recent studies have shown that people you spend all their lives trying to achieve something that is near impossible for them are less happier than people who have learned to "give up" and accept that fact that they are just not cut out to do certain things. "We should all have an equal opportunity to achieve the goals we set… we should all have equal opportunity to do what we want with our lives." I totally agree with this saying. It is not only fair that each and every person is given the same opportunity to do what we want, it should also be our choice and only our choice to take that opportunity. In other words, when there is an opportunity, it should not be forced down our throats by others to take it. Do I sound bitter? Yes, too many times have I heard people say that they have taken on something which they do not enjoy but were forced to take because others thought it was best that they take the opportunity. No, we are definitely not equal. Life would be w-a-a-a-y to boring if we were. Just imagine if everyone was rich, everyone was smart, and everyone was handsome/pretty. What would life be like?
