Question

explain in your own words 'if it doesn't challenge you it won't change you'

Answer 1

Hi there,,,

To me, this is saying that if a situation is so normal that it offers you no challenge at all, it isn’t able to change you in any way, shape or form.

Stated another way, challenges are what change us and help us improve. If a situation can’t do the first part, it won’t be able to do the latter.

We humans grow thrive on challenges. Some prefer smaller challenges, and others aren’t satisfied until they climb the highest mountain.

But with the challenge comes change. Whether it’s discovering a new ability or learning a limitation of ability, we are changed.

Thanks!!!!

Answer 2

There are so many people living on this planet, and all of them have their own views on what life means to them. There are optimists, pessimists, realists who have rather different views considering the events happening in their life. If we say that life is a challenge, this doesn’t necessarily mean that we perceive the world in a dull way – it means that we understand that life is not always a piece of cake, but in this feature there also can be seen the beauty of life.

No one can deny that there are many different moments in our life when we are sad or disappointed; often there is injustice and various events that are bitter and very unpleasant. We cannot totally avoid these aspects of our life, as it is always interrelated with the other people and everything can drastically change any moment. A lot of people find these challenges to be too hard for them and in such situations they just choose not to interfere in the course of affairs and complain about their life, as if someone sympathizes with their misery. But as for me, it is too easy of a way out. I choose to perceive these challenges in such a way that they polish my character and make me a better person.

"I don't know if I have just been blessed by having a relatively simple life or what. I guess I'm lucky, and I'm having a really hard time coming up with something to say for this. Maybe I don't see some things that have happened as major challenges or something. But this essay, which is a staple of so many secondaries, is killing me! I feel like so many other applicants will have intense stories or something else that just makes me look underprivileged. I have just lived such a standard life. I'm curious as to what some of you guys have talked about for the overcoming a challenge essay." Thanks!
