Quotes & Meani
e Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo,...Lenardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Eistein.
Everyone has the same amount of time. Some people succeed not because they have more time than you, but because they can manage their time well.
Prepare a short presentation about the quote.
The quote: “Your future depends on many things but mostly on you.”
I can't agree more with this view. It's true that our future is determined by many things, such as opportunities and help from others,but our own attitude, determination and diligence play a more important role. In other words, we are the master of our own future.
Take Abraham Lincoln for example, he was born in a poor family and received a limited education in his childhood, yet through his effort, he changed not onlyhis own fate,but also the history of America. Therefore, I firmly believe that our future depends on mostly ourselves.
