Three Cups of Tea4：Obstacles

There are many obstacles in our lives. Even though they may make us suffer, they are still very important for our daily growth.

Currently, my biggest obstacle is a video game. It is appealing to play and confusing to my brain – it feels like it is trying to capture my soul. I often wail bitterly during long nights and I always have serious conflicts because of the game with my mother. Games are definitely not good for your physical condition and creates problems with your family fbecause some people play games throughout the whole night. Family is a place where members communicate and express love for each other. In addition, playing video games is bad for your studies too. I am still thinking a solution to video games. It is really difficult because you need to balance study and relaxation: my current plan is limiting myself to 20 minutes per day. However, it is still very hard to try to control my time to this amount, due to the fact that I sometimes just want to play and can’t control myself.

Obstacles are important in many ways. They teach us life lessons that could be useful in the future. Mistakes are not a negative aspect of life, but very important ones. For instance, I fail many times, and encounter many difficulties to control the time spend on video games, but then I think more about the solution to the problem. Therefore, obstacles can also enable you to come up with solutions to problems. When an obstacle is overcome, it makes our life better. It is really important for our growth because you learn to avoid the mistakes and gain life experience.

Obstacles are very important and useful because they can influence our growth and make our lives better every day.
