Summary
It’s impossible for anyone of us to predict what misfortunes might occur in our life. Remember happiness can be created by ourselves. No matter what happens in the future, the most important thing is to hold on until we succeed or reach our goals. We should not give up halfway when we meet with difficulties.
People don’t lack strength ,they lack will.
