You must make a CHOICE to take a CHANCE or your life will never CHANGE.
How true are these 3 C's ? Are they always in this order? Do we really have the choice of taking a chance and bringing about a change ?

The chances we take in life might not always bring the changes we desire or like. But as it is said and is very true that," Change is the only constant in Life" ,therefore we must take a chance and accept the change it makes in our life. These changes help us in growing as individuals.
ReplyDeleteMoving out of our comfort zone and doing something new is always a tough task, but once we overcome that fear and move ahead, life certainly becomes better.
:)
Choices we make is what defines us.
ReplyDeleteA choice might not always bring a change, but if we take a Chance while making a choice then yes it will bring about a change. Taking chances is very important in life.
How can you know the choice you made will bring about a change or not if you have not taken a chance ever ?
So yes take a chance and bring a change but also keep learning from the experiences.
If you want to achieve something you should be willing to make choices and take chances. You need to take certain risks in life, nothing in life comes easy.Its not about a single choice, we have to continue making choices in life. You can make a big choice, but small choices are also very important to bring about great changes otherwise you will remain the same person.
ReplyDeleteSo a choice will bring about a change if we take a chance.
Very rightly said by Akshita. Lets take the choice made 67 years back on this very day, 15th August, which has brought this change that we are part of today - "The independent India" :)
ReplyDeleteYES I AGREE WITH THE QUOTE
ReplyDeleteMake a choice to take a chance or your life will never change.
"When you have to make a choice
and don't make it,
that in itself is a choice."
William James
We all need to decide whether to "play it safe" in life and worry about the downside, or instead make a choice to take a chance, by being who we really are and living the life our heart desires.
There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them."
Many of us go along in our lives without being fully conscious of what we are doing. Sometimes the thought of trying something new is so scary that we make all sorts of excuses not to go. . If you are having trouble getting out of your chair, make the choice to take a chance and create some flexibility in your life. It may not change your mind ; but it will certainly broaden it.
Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.
I made a choice to take this chance of penning down my thoughts and bringing about a constructive change in this blog of ours.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, we do get the chance to change our lives and the choice is always ours. Sometimes we are not even sure about the correct alternative, but if we do not step forward, we will always be there in the same position. With this, I would like to quote what Tata Sky advertises: "If you do not ask, the answer will always be no".

ReplyDeleteI think every decision or a chance that one take's in life, might not give a positive result and that's what life is all about. Our choice to take a chance depends upon for what we are going to take it and nobody will prefer it in a serious and important matter. Chances are taken not to change the life but to fulfill a particular aspect of that life and in what way the life will change, depends upon the significance that the particular aspect carries in our life.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with the quote. These 3 C's play a very critical role in life.In my opinion CHOICE, CHANCE and CHANGE all work hand in hand but not specifically in this order. At some point of time, we all must have made a choice to take a chance bringing about a change that may or may not be perceived by us with jubilance. For instance,we all are here in UBS, few people might believe they are here by chance while others might be here by choice. But if we analyse this, we all made a choice to take a chance (or vice versa)to take admission in UBS, and what kind of change it might bring in our life depends on our efforts.
ReplyDeleteWe make a choice to take risks or to make changes.In this case we make a choice to take a chance(risk) which might lead to Success or Failure--If you win,you lead and if you loose,you guide.
ReplyDeleteAnd in some cases we are not fortunate enough to make choices first.There are times in your life when you have to go for the change imposed on you, at that time you don't have any choice but to accept the change,there we make a choice either to adjust with the changes or take a chance and go ahead.
Thus according to me the sequence is not always "choice,chance,change" but sometimes it is- "change-Choice OR Chance"

ReplyDeleteThe above stated 3C's are perfectly true as per the life cycle ,as without these C's no positive outcomes are possible because we have the choice to achieve something by taking a chance and making changes in our life so they perfectly fit into this order too.To achieve or fulfill our desires A choice is always there , it is us on which decision of taking the chance depends keeping in mind the pros and cons of the result of that chance taken which further accordingly affect our lives. But still rather than not stepping forward and being consistent , it would be better availing the chance by our choice ,even if that chance proves fatal atleast we learn something from it and keep it in mind while going for further availing of chances through our correct choices to be made for our life..!!!

"Be the change, that you want to see in this World"
ReplyDeleteMAHATMA GANDHI
I firmly believe this quote said by Father of our Nation.
So I would like to add another perspective to the topic...
According to the above said quote I don't see any CHANCE is dere, if u want any change in your surroundings, Be that change and We can change ourselves only by choice not by chance. According to me here,CHANCE is an opportunity given to a person but CHOICE is what you chose for yourself after Scrutinizing every possibility and every possible outcome. Talking about CHANCE, chance is a shield that most of the people use to protect themselves from the word FAILURE.I have seen many people saying that, "We took a chance and got failed, but the same set of people when they succeed say it was by the choice."(I know i can't generalize this as the sample space is very less but this is what i have observed and that's why sharing here). So CHANCE and CHOICE does't go hand in hand, they are ambiguous when used together.
Thank You

ReplyDeleteI do second these 3'C of life.
ReplyDeleteBut I consider these Cs as PROBLEM, SOLUTION and IMPLIMENTATION. Any gap between what is and what ought to be, that situation has to be CHOSEN. Next comes solution, new things don’t happen just like that, solution appears only if someone dare to take CHANCE against the things which are already there. In the end, we left with a new world to step into that is IMPLIMENTATION. That implementation brings in the most important and required CHANGE.
So it depends upon individual; but I strongly affirm that, yes these 3C’s do exist, but has to be taken in proper sequence.
Whenever you make a choice to take a chance at something I believe the change comes as a consequence to these two. As said above "change is the only constant". Our ever changing choices regarding our life and then taking a chance on those choices leads to continuous changes in our life. Choice and Chance, according to me, come simultaneously in order where as change is a consequence of the choice you chance upon. This change can take a while to come or be very instant. It is indeed totally upon us to make that choice, take that chance to bring about that desired change in our life.
ReplyDelete"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
ReplyDeleteBARACK OBAMA
very rightly said that change is part of life. life is full of experiences ,it is our choice to keep our life moving on in normal routine or to make a choice of taking a chance of having change in it.The smart decision here to be taken is at what time you make this choice of having change under which circumstances and for what purpose . sometimes life brings
"SUCH A CHANGE THAT IT GIVES US CHANCE OF MAKING A CHOICE " that maybe we had not taken otherwise
so these 3 c's of life keep on interchanging in sequence thus making our life worth living it but again it depends on person to person how one takes it .bt one who accept CHANGES,take CHANCES,make smart CHOICES experiences life in true sense.
"The hardest choices in life aren't between what's right and what's wrong but between what's right and what's best.”
Living your own life has always been a choice. The Choices we make are depend on our intentions, beliefs wants and experiences. We all take chances and make mistakes. Chances tell us that our life is not going to end. Also “Nothing is permanent in this life except change” and Change is one of the toughest task which we can ever do in our life because we are afraid to let go of things which makes us comfortable even if they are not making any sense. If we always do the same things then we will always have the same things in our life and to make any change in our life we have to take chance to make the change possible. So it is true that we must make a choice to take a chance if we want to make any change in our life.
ReplyDeleteThese three C’s can be interchangeable as we can also take a chance to make the change of our own choice. A simple rule of life is “If you do not go after what you want, you'll never have it” and “If you do not step forward, you will always be in the same place”. So to have what we want and to move forward, we must make choice , take chance and change our life.
When we have the choice and chance to change the life, the first thing which comes in our mind is that “ Do we really want a change?” and “How this change going to effect our life?” Generally people says that life is about changes but some of them comes just naturally and some are that which we make willingly. And Currently we are talking about the changes which we make willingly. And the reality is this that most of us are not always comfortable with them. It’s a common man thinking that the common man’s life is never going to change ,we keep on living the same which is already lived up by many of people. And its need a lot of courage if we decide to come out of this zone and ready to accept change. Its also true that in life we get many chances to change it and there always a choice as we carry on with our life. But yes its also true that if we really want to change than we must grab that choice and chance no matter what is going to happen after that. And again it needs a lot of courage, this means that you giving up the life which you already living and also you don’t know what consequences you going to face in future. And as far as my view is concerned we always have choices and chances if we want a change and the only thing which is needed is courage to do that. And its not always true that we first need choice or chance than we change. We can change willingly also and sometimes we make choices after according to the chances because of the change which we made.
ReplyDeleteI personally think that the chronological order of the 3 C's you have put up in that sentence is very apt.And discussing about whether do we really have a choice to take a chance for a change.I would say yes, as everyone in this world have their own rights to have a choice of their own.But people don't often dare to have a choice in which their chances are slim and ultimately they are happy being complacent about their present situation and it ends up the scope of a better future change in them.But if some one has the guts to think different and is brave enough to take chances,he is going to be really successful at some point of time in his life.I don't have very big examples to substantiate this truth.But to tell about my personal story.I am a guy who is currently pursuing my MBA from the northern part of India,Punjab.But i am not a Punjabi,not even a resident of any northern part of India.I am coming from down south of India,Kerala.I had came to a place for study where i don't know the language,where i don't have any contacts,and where my comfort zone is minimal or you can even say negligible.You may all think that this guy is crazy as he could have stayed happily at his comfort zone itself by pursuing his MBA at his state or place.But to be true here,i don't absolutely regret my decision or my choice to take a chance with my MBA course because i strongly believe that this will help me for a better change.People always love to stay at their comfort zone and that's quite natural.But i am guy who have different perception against this phenomenon.ie,I love taking challenges and i love to come out of my comfort zone and fight it out.I personally believes that unless and until you don't dare to come out of your comfort zone,you won't grow as as an individual.Dare to make a choice to take a chance to change yourselves for the better.When i say all these also,there will be questions arising in the minds of the readers like, what will happen if my choice to take a chance to change myself didn't turned fruitful at the end?But people who have made it big in their lives have dared to take the untrodden path.I always believe in this great quote " Do not go where the path may lead.Go instead where there is no
ReplyDeletepath and leave a trail".You won't ever regret that you have took a chance that didn't succeed at the end.But you will definitely regret if you didn't took a chance and it ultimately ended up on a very success note.There is a famous saying in English that luck favors the brave.It's really true.Be brave to take chances in life and have confidence in yourself that you will ultimately succeed. Failures are the stepping stone to success.We won't study anything big from our successes.Success is just a habit.But we will learn a lot from our failures.Every failures in life would teach us some thing useful.And also don't ever think that you have a made a bad choice or big mistake,people learn only if they mistakes.And that's the reason why some great personalities have made a statement "Celebrate your mistakes ".Believe in your instincts and trust in your abilities.People will always be there to demotivate or demoralize you,but never mind.Stick to your decisions that you make in your life and prove them all wrong.Dare to think different and always keep in mind that your uniqueness is something that differentiates you from the rest.Try to create a quality of perseverance with in you and always self motivate yourself.These are the new mantras of success.Perseverance is a quality that can take you places in your life.Don't change your decision at the mere sight of a failure.Be brave and stand for what you truly believe in.Tough times come but it's the perseverance that counts ultimately.
Too long!
DeleteI won't quote any famous personality's quote, I won't quote any other philosophy.
ReplyDeleteI believe in keeping things simple and sharp . This quote has summarized what I have learned till now. I had to make a choice that would decide the course of rest of my life. Going against what other's said, listening to my own heart, I took a chance, putting everything at stake. Now here I am, and certainly life is changing, and hopeful for good.
So I can say that I had a choice, I took a chance and my life is changing.. ;)
I personally think that the order of the three C's you have put in is accurate because if you ever want to get to where you really want to be you have to be willing to make the choices and take the chances. Nothing really worth having in life comes super easy. Without being willing to take a few risks, and make a few choices that may not be the most popular choices, chances are you won't see all of the success and greatness you are destined to.
ReplyDeleteSome wait to see if the choice they made is the choice that should have been made, while others choose to sit back and acknowledge the fact that it isn't just about the choices you make. It is about the choices that you continue to make, day in and day out.
Sure you can make some big choices to change your life. But if you don't continue to make the small choices, to make the big changes, you will probably continue to remain as the same person.
The above said topic is absolutely correct.The chances which we take in the life may not bring success but will help us as individual to grow.We must make those choices that will suit us the best.In BHAGVAD GITA it is also written that change is the need of the hour for the world.We have to take some risks in the life otherwise we might not see all of the success.
ReplyDeleteIn today's scenario, taking chance has become a necessity for success. In business, taking chance can yield to greater profits or can leave the company in ruins. But not taking chances confirms its failure. Hence the statement, "you must take a choice to take a chance or your life would never change" is apt in most situations.
ReplyDeleteAs they say, change is the only constant. If we don't adapt to change, the change would be imposed upon us without our choice. For example, in today's marketing scenario, the market forces are compelling the marketers to launch/change/customize the product with respect to the demands of the customer if they want to stay in business. Hence here the marketers do not have the choice to change. Therefore, change is not always dependent upon choice. Sometimes we need to changes ourselves and then take a chance.
The above mentioned statement is totally apt for the current changing environment.
ReplyDeleteFor every change that we want or face in life we have to make some choices and subsequently take chances(risks)of being in a discomfort zone.
Everybody has to make ample number of choices in life. Whether it's a child who want to make a choice of buying a candy and take a chance regarding the taste of the candy, a student who has to make a choice of deciding the university and take a chance for his career or a top executive who has to make a choice among various decision alternatives and take the chance with the future of the organisation. All these choices eventually lead to a change. A change that will affect the life, a change that will give new horizons to the life and a change that will decide the future.
To move ahead in life one has to make choices so as to change one's life. If a person does not take a chance and make a choice in life or does not have a motive in life, life never changes but stays the same. So choosing something in life that you can achieve will surely change your life.
ReplyDeleteYou may take certain decisions in life that bring you success or failure. If the choice brings you failure you should not be disheartened but make a new start. If you don't start again life will not change.
According to me, to achieve something in life you should take a chance, make choices which will change your life or else you will go nowhere.
A person has to make choices and take chances to get a change in the life. Change can either be good or bad, depending upon the choice you make. It is a process which will keep going throughout your life. Ups and downs in your life are the outcomes of the chances we take and choices we make. So no matter what, one has to adapt to change because this change only is going to decide the future.
ReplyDeleteA change can take you towards better or towards worse. Just for the reason that people don’t wish to go towards worse, they keep away from getting better and continue to move in a single direction until there is a forceful change, mostly dropping them to worse. Chance Whatever you do can result in either good or bad. In scientific terms we call there is 50% probability of getting good results and 50% for bad. Just for the reason that there is a probability for result getting bad we look away from fact that things can turn good too. Based on this evaluation we need to take a chance, because by not taking a chance we kept way from losing something and we didn’t get something either. Choice A grandfather was talking to his grandson. “There are two wolves fighting inside all of us – the wolf of fear and hate, and the wolf of love and peace.“The grandson looked up at his grandfather and asked, “Which one will win?”
ReplyDeleteThe grandfather replied, “The one we feed.” So things turns good for us or against us a lot depending upon out own choice. If we choose to get better, better we become and vice-versa.
Change is the law of nature.But if we don't change ourselves with the changing times,we will lag behind from others.It's all about making a choice.If we make a choice to take a chance in changing ourselves,we might be successful or atleast we'll learn from our mistake.But if we don't make any choice and take a chance then we will be left with nothing.
ReplyDeleteSometimes people think why we have to make a choice if we know already that we are going to fail.But if don't make a choice,the we would be ruining the one and only chance at success.The thing is it's better to take your chances than to regret later.
Now coming on to the question whether we have a choice or not to take a chance for bringing a change.It is true because it is ourselves who have to make a choice.If we fail to act,we would be responsible for that.
The 3 C’s of life: choice, chance and change…You got to make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change…Sometimes you have to forget what’s gone, appreciate what still remains and look forward to what’s coming next. You may not always end up where you thought you were going, but you’ll always end up where you were meant to be and along the way, remember to laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live!
