"In school you are taught a lesson then given a test; In life, you are given a test & then you learn your lesson."

that's a little something I learned a couple of years ago. I never thought of how deep the message of this quote is. I never thought of applying it on my life. In life, to know what the true meaning of happiness is, one must experience pain. For one to actually appreciate a gift, one must know what it's like to own nothing. For one to actually appreciate victory, one must experience defeat. After all the things that happened over the week, I learned that I must make the best out of each & every opportunity given to me. Treat each chance as if it's my last; as if there will be no tomorrow.
