Nothing is Guaranteed


Take two people Same gender, race, likes... Practically mirrored Both go to the same college under the same field But different approaches on motivation... ...Leading to a different outcome. One is a studious person who reads books, studies, reviews, and practices for his exams The other person goes out more than studies, parties, and partially reviews Both passed the class One with a higher GPA then the other Both graduate and apply to the same position to the same job in the same building There is only one position open for what these people applied to The person who studied more is confident that he will get the position because of his work in College... ...Studied, reliable, high grades in general The one who went and partied more with average grades is more mellow and calm Not confident but not uncertain... ...The results come back The person who studied and had high grades DID NOT get the position Rather the other person did Neither knew why So the person with the average grades was hired and had a great job While the other person could not find work in the field studied in... ...And was forced to work in a low paying job NOT in the field studied For years... There's a moral to this story. Nothing is guaranteed in life No matter what you have done, the accomplishments you achieved, or the grades you earn It does not guarantee you stability in the future towards what you want... ...You must adjust...be like water and flow free Life is a gamble You never know when you get your chance ~RiKaN
