potentialities made me realize that there is no limit or no rule can restrict a person’s urge for
nourishing their potentialities. If a person is determined to find out his or her potentialities
and pushes himself or herself to exercise more, he or she can definitely achieve their
respective goals. In short, the more a person pushes himself or herself the more the chances
