IV. Accomplish the chart based on your understanding on the following excerpt of
speech.
You Always Have Choices
No matter what situation you are in, you have a choice. No matter how bad
things are, you have a choice. No matter what you think you can or cannot do, you have
a choice.
Now it may not be an easy choice, by any means. It may be a very difficult choice
and the road you decide to take may be a tough one. It may push you way out of your
comfort zone. It may mean that in the initial period your life may get even harder than it
already is. But it is a choice nonetheless.
A lot of times you will actually find that the choices are not as hard as you
thought they were. You may just have shut off your mind from seeing those choices and
possibilities because you thought you had no choice. Once you become open to the
idea that you are responsible for your life and that you have choices, you will find you
are no longer stuck just because life is hard.
At that point, life is hard, but you have the final say. Your life becomes more
meaningful and purposeful.
