To achieve anything, you must first have the intention to act; without the will to act, success is impossible. If you are unwilling to take action, then even the most meticulous plans, the most perfect measures, the most correct decisions, and the most stringent systems are merely empty words; any innovative ideas, effective methods, or important spirit are nothing more than illusions; and any brilliant future, beautiful dreams, or lofty goals will ultimately become as unreachable as a reflection in the water or a flower in a mirror.
In everyone's life, there will always be opportunities that can change your destiny, especially during youth, when there is an average of one opportunity per year. But why do so many people fail to seize these opportunities? The reason lies in habit. All opportunities require you to change yourself, yet too many people become accustomed to their old ways of life and refuse to change, thereby rejecting opportunity itself. The reason your life remains unchanged is not a lack of opportunity, but rather that you have become too comfortable with your current circumstances.
