Life is not a bed of roses, rather it is a bed of thorns. Sometimes it feels like heaven, but on the other hand it feels like hell. It depends on how human beings react in different circumstances.

Human beings must keep in mind that nothing is permanent in this world. Adversity sharpens skills and qualities and uncovers hidden talents in human beings, as Alex Lowe states: “Identifying and overcoming natural fear is one of the enjoyable struggles intrinsic to climbing. » It is worth saying that people recognize their hidden power and abilities when something bad happens to them. Bad times make people understand themselves better and strive to achieve their goals. Success comes to those who strive for it, not to those who wait for others to reinforce them.
