1. I think the most difficult obstacle for her were teenage mother and homeless parent. Because, having and raise up baby is very hard, but even then she is teenager I guess it was very hard time.

I think she wants to tell us "nothing is impossible, so, don't give up before start challenging."
1.The most difficult obstacle for her was that she was a "high school dropout, a teenage mother, a homeless parent and a former welfare recipient". That implies that she is not currently rich enough to tackle her problems. Thus, it definitely weakens or impedes her being and her flourishing.
ReplyDelete2.She was willing to achieve her goal. She worked hard. Furthermore, she encountered a new boyfriend that maybe helped her in her determination to succeed. In addition, moving to Colorado was an advantage for her. And most remarkably, the risk she took to go back to school was an important characteristic to her success.
3. I think it is the best advise a person can ever give you. If you want to succeed, it is absolutely good to set goals and achieve them at all costs and to not "impossibilize" them.

3-I agree with her advies" Set unreasonable goals, and chase them unreasonably." You never know what will happen in the futrue, so you can set whatever kind goal.And you do your best to achieve the goal.
1. Lalita Booth was teenage mother, a homeless parent, and a former wwelfare recipient. I think the most difficult obstacle for Lalita was that she was a teenage mother. Because when she was yong, her parents didn't accompany her. However, she had a son when other teenagers are studying at high school. She needed not only to take care of the baby, but also to think about her future. So it was a hard time for her.
ReplyDelete2. She is independent, persistent, and has a strong mind. Those are her characteristics that have helped her .
3. In the end, she tells that "Set unreasonable goals, and chase them unreasonably." I think what her tells us is reasonable and rational. Sometimes, people are easily get afraid that they are are afraid of the bad result will happen to them, so they dare to do somenthing. Like what Lalita said, sometimes, we should set unreasonable belief, we should have confidence, no matter how hard the work is, no matter what others will say, just do it, set our goals and chase it!
