When desperation gives way to hope, one may call it a ‘turning point’. The very sense of hope gives one a great thrill and a chance for jubilation. The dictionary meaning of ‘turning point’ is: “A time when an important change happens, normally a good one.”
A turning point may come, apparently, by chance/accident; but by and large, it is the result of one’s complete devotion to one’s action for a particular goal, thereby coming out of a crisis. That means one can create one’s own ‘turning point’ by going the whole hog and with determination and willpower. As American singer Jimmy Dean says, “I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to reach my goal.”
In other words, life gives us plenty of chances for a turning point, and some of us make the best use of them but many of us miss them. We miss such chances merely because we tend to be carefree and careless. Therefore, we must understand that life is all about great chances and turning points. We need to be ready to grab them and go ahead towards a better and happier tomorrow.
Also, let us remind ourselves that if we miss the first bus, we have to be determined not to let it happen again when the second bus comes our way. After all, just as day follows night, good days, too, come after bad ones.
