Life isn't always smooth. If it were, we would never grow and develop as human beings. If we succeed, we are envied; if we fail, we are ridiculed and attacked. Sadly, this is how people are. Unexpected grief and suffering may lie ahead of you. But it is precisely when you encounter such trying times that you must not be defeated. Never give up. Never retreat.
- Daisaku Ikeda

To the weak, difficulty is a closed door. To the strong, however, it is a door waiting to be opened. - Almafuerte
