Challenges Are Inevitable

All living beings undergo challenges, challenges are inevitable just as it is said, "The rich also cry. " everyone cries be it rich or poor. People faces problems daily, including those born with sliver spoons. This challenges ranges from personal problems to societal problems. In life, you will always have challenges, you will face the bad days where everything seems to fail and disappointing. This days makes you stronger, better and wiser. You must be sick to know how being sick feels like. You must be broke to know how not having money feels like. You must have bad days to truly appreciate the good times when it comes. You must be jobless to know how being jobless feels like, to appreciate the job when it comes and to encourage others who are jobless as well. You must be childless to appreciate children when you see them. These are the problems faced by people, you can't escape it and you can't say you are without a problem. Not having a problem is a problem itself because you are human. Nothing is perfect, everyday isn't Christmas. You must struggle, you must face hard times. During this moments, most friends will flee from you, let them run. You get to know real friends when you are faced with difficulties. Do you ever wonder why successful people get so much fans and friends? It is because they have everything going well for them, everyone wants to be associated with them, they snap pictures with them just to show others. People love places they can benefit from. They don't want to be part of a person's developing process, they want to be part when he or she has done something outstanding, and he or she is really famous and known. A lot of people underestimate others because of their present situations, and they are probably no where and not known, they don't believe that such people could do better, overcome and be outstanding. I would advise, don't look down on anyone, you never can tell how great they will become. Encourage them and give them your full support.

I once had a friend whose father was a manager in a financial institution. He was a big man. He had so much money then, people called him for help and he helped them. People visit him often, even those who were not related to him. Since he was a good and sincere man, he never stopped anyone from visiting him or coming to his house. He welcomed everyone equally. One day, he got tired of his work and resigned. He voluntarily resigned. Everyone was shocked, friends started fleeing when he didn't have so much money again. His friends passed on rumours that he was sacked from work. Nobody even came to him to ask him what happened and how he was faring, everyone believed that he was sacked except his family. He was left with his wife and children. His wife stood by him through those tough times. All the friends who ate and dine with him never associated with him any more. Only good friends stick to one during tough moment. Life isn't all rosy, you will face hard times, people will give up on you, friends will reject you. Be calm, never give up on yourself, be happy, live one day at a time, spend time with good people, those who supports you. Life does not end when you are faced with problems, it continues and gets better. Life has been no day to reach, be patient. You will overcome and stronger you will be.

Shalom!
