Do you always act when there is a good opportunity? Have you ever lost an opportunity caused by your indecision? In daily life, I think there are many good opportunities. However I often missed them and felt regret. So, I believe making an action is important to me.
I want to talk about my experience. I went to New Zealand when I was in a high school. When I was in a junior high school, I decided to study abroad, because I wanted to be a good English speaker. However, studying abroad costs money so I couldn’t decide whether to study abroad or not. When I was thinking, my mom and dad told me that there is no more opportunity that I can go to another country and study English so I should go even if it costs a lot of money. Then I decided to go with their help. In fact, there was another chance to study abroad after I entered this college, but I didn’t go because there was no time to do it. So the decision which I made in junior high school to study abroad was correct.
Carolyn Wells said “Actions lie louder than words”. Nowadays, we say “Actions speak louder than words”. I think it is easy to say “I want to do this thing.” but if you don’t make an effort, the good opportunity is lost. So when it comes, we must grasp it.
I think making an action is important too.
I’m glad your decision of going to New Zeland in junior high scool turned out to be a good opportunities.
I hope I won’t miss my opportunity from now on.
