Quote:
“...sometimes bad things happen to make good things happen.” (42)
Often times people use their bad experiences as an excuse to put their life on hold, give up, and lose all effort. Although it is clear that the reason we go through trials is to make ourselves better. After working on our character, good things start to appear in front of us.
