Whether you find it or not, we always like to find all kinds of excuses to avoid doing something, especially the challenge things. We all prefer to do easy things and we all try out best to avoid trouble. Actulaly,this is human instinct. Why do I want to talk about this topic? Because I want to tell you that if you always choose to avoid trouble, the trouble will come to you sooner or later.

    Several days ago, I saw a very good sentence: If you want to make progress, you must meet the challenge, however, if you want to make progress quickly, you must look for the challenge. What is challenge? Challenge is something that we may need make great efforts to overcome and it can also make us feel suffering. This is why most of us choose to avoid challenge. 

    Unfortunately, I am this kind of people. When my tutor gives me a new task to do, I always like to delay it. I will tell myself many excuses to delay doing it right now. I would rather do something else than start the task. Why?  Because I am afraid of failure and it is an unknown thing that I haven't got in touch with before. When I have to begin doing it, it may not be so difficult. Certainly, there is a condition that it may become more difficult and I have to give up it. To be honest, I have seen many people like me. 

    Why are many young people afraid of challenges and failure? When we are young, we inevitably will meet new things in our jobs and lives and be faced with failure. I think this is a common thing. However, many young people in the modern society pay more attention to the good results and their own self-respect. It seems that if they can't get a good result they will lose their self-respect. So they would rather choose not to do the new challenge and like to discourage others from doing so. We always like to live in others' eyes. We only want to pursuit what most of the people agree with. 

    My tutor tells us that when we are young, we need to meet challenge and make faults. A man who goes smoothly when he is young will not own happiness when he is old.  A man without defaults when he is young will not grow to maturity and have great success. We all need failure and challenge to help perfect ourselves. What we pursuit is not a very great life but a colorful and plenary life. So we need a good mentality to help us meet challenge and failure in our lives.
