Opportunity: Make Good Use Of It
I have watched earlier a children’s program and as usual as it is, you always get a moral lesson at the end of the story. But this one I saw this morning really hit me. It’s something that is so real and applies to all ages. The story is about a man who loved this woman very much but is very shy to tell her his feelings. They are good friends and he never told her about it. Then he regretted it and there’s this man who gave him the opportunity to turn back time and correct his mistakes. But in this chance, he still didn’t make it. Still afraid to tell her his feelings and ended up alone when he got back in the present.
He still grieve for it and the man gave him another chance again. This time, he blew it up. Because he couldn’t really tell her directly his feelings for her, he did it by kidnapping her and brought her in a room and that is the time that he told her his feelings. Although he did not really hurt her physically, he still did it in the wrong way. The woman told him that she loved him also but couldn’t accept him anymore because of what he did.
So, back to the present, he end up being alone again. Still the same, he wasted the opportunity again. Then, as the man really wanted him to know his mistakes and correct it, he gave him his last chance. So learning from his mistakes, he faced his fears, he told her his feelings no matter what the result would be, he was ready to accept it. Upon telling her his feelings, she told him that she loved him also which gave him much delight. When he got back to the present, he just woke up in bed with the woman who was his wife already.
We always here that opportunity comes only once and we must grab it. From the story, I figured that we should not just grab it, but make good use of it as well.
