Sometimes I try to focus on my homework, but little things always seem to get in the way. My phone starts lighting up with messages, or I remember something I wanted to watch online, and then I get distracted. Even noises in the house, like the TV or people talking, can get in the way of me finishing my work. When this happens, it takes me much longer to get things done, and I end up feeling stressed. I know I have to stay focused, but it’s not always easy when so many things keep getting in the way.

My best friend works with me. Sometimes we discuss about our work and personal life. I tell her "I don't want your personal feelings getting in the way of our professional collaboration." and her answer is "You are really boring, but I love you my friend". We laugh a lot and return to our hard work.

I was driving down the avenue when I saw a terrible accident between a car and a motorcycle. The car driver was clearly at fault. He ran a red light and hit the motorcyclist. Since I was nearby and witnessed everything, I knew I couldn’t let fear get in the way of doing the right thing. I stopped, gave my statement to the police, and confirmed that the car driver was responsible.

One day when my friend Jean and I were playing "99 nights In The Forest", we reached 253 days but our goal was 500. We need food to survive in the game taking the food and putting in the fireplace in order to get that rosted. But Jean was eating all the food we had, so we died. And then I said, " You are getting in the way of me reaching the 500 days, you are a noob!". And then he replied, "I only like to eat something 😁"

I used to have this classmate, Sofia, and everyone in class knew everything about her. Whenever an opportunity came up, it could be a scholarship, a contest, a new course, she would sigh and complain about how unfair and difficult her life was. “You don’t know how hard it is for me” she would say to everyone.

But the truth was clear to everyone else. Nothing really got in her way. She had supportive teachers, a family that encouraged her, she had money and all the resources at hand. We noticed that Sofia was staying behind while we all grew up, tangled in excuses only she believed.

One afternoon, after another round of complaints, one of her teachers finally looked her in the eyes and said: “Sofia, stop blaming obstacles that aren’t there. The only thing getting in your way is yourself.”

The words hit her hard. We were all shocked but kind of relieved someone finally had the guts to tell her the truth.

One beautiful day at my company, I received a message from my Manager who recommended my name for the new opportunity, an executive one, which I would become a Specialist. After months of working hard to get the promotion, I got the result, and I didn't become an executive because my director got in the way and told me I had to wait a little more because this promotion would be a great step. I want to kill her! Why didn't she tell me everything about that before...

A long time ago a friend came to me for advice. He wanted to change the rules of a company to make that better. And then I told him "I'm sorry to get in the way of your dream, but this is a huge mistake." He was angry with me at first, but years later he thanked me for what I had said.

My family went on a ski trip to San Martin de Los Andes - Patagônia. They were looking forward to that trip for a long time, to be honest, about more than three years. But, when they finally got there, something very bad got in the way - there was no snow. Long story short, they got a big discount and they will try again next year.

Every year at my company, we have a party in June. But this year's party, the weather forecast wasn't so good. So when we had just finished to prepare all the food and everything, I asked my boss if he would like to postpone the party because of the rain and he told me, "Nothing gets in the way of our party! Let's get a cover and we shall have the party!"
