each numbered item. Write only the letter of your answer.
1) It’s true! At certain points in our lives, we stop and ask this question: How do we turn challenges to
opportunities? 2) Yes, it’s not easy, but that doesn’t mean it is impossible to do.3) This means that we need to
remember the important ways to put into action. 4) Of course, the first thing to do is to reflect not in
thoughtlessness but we need to start to focus and analyze the competition taking place between the positive and
negative limits of our emotions. 5) Eventually we ask, “How do we feel about the challenge? 6) Do we feel
hopeless, angry, jealous, worried, inadequate, insecure, and fearful or do we feel their negative counterparts? 7)
It’s silly to allow them overrule our outlook in life. 8) We must envision always that progress and success come to
those who adhere to practice hard work, determination, courage, perseverance, humility, consciousness, justice,
self-confidence, trust, respect, love and other potent secrets of inner strength and success. 9) We need to be
realistic that we need some if not all of them to turn challenges to opportunities; thereby this will make us all
contented and happy.
