Do not waste your potential

Letters

SHOW me someone who waits for opportunities and I’ll show you someone who will wait for the rest of his or her life.
No matter where you are right now, you have greatness in you.
For our students throughout the country, if you are doing really well or not doing so well, remember you still have greatness in you. Let us not wait for opportunities.
The greatest successful people of all times did not wait for opportunities but created their own opportunities.
One classic example is Albert Einstein, the father of physics who was once rejected by universities in Europe when he applied to study.
If he had continued to wait, we would not have great technologies today.
Today, physics is using some of Albert Einstein’s greatest equations and laws to expand. One of those rules is about relativity.
Everyone is born with potential.
Potential is what you can do but have not yet done. Potential is what you can be but have not yet become.
