It’s not the happy times that build my character; it’s the hardships.
They mold me like the river shapes the stones.
They strengthen me like the clay makes the brick.
They energize me like the wind blowing under the kite.
My success some day, won’t be based on luck
but on my ability to evolve in the midst of hardships.
