'Life doesn't always work the way we'd like it to.If we had our way, it would be easier, consistently fair and more fun.There'd be no pain and suffering, we would't have to work and we would't have to die.We'd be happy all the time.Unfortunately we don't get our way.We get reality instead.But reality is an excellent teacher.It helps us learn although often slowly and painfully, some of life's greatest lessons.One of them is this: the world will not devote itself to making us happy.

Weather we like it or not, this is one of life's great truths.Philosophers have argued or thousand of years about why life works the way it does, but that's not our concern.Our concern is how it works.If we don't understand and accept life as it is, we'll keep wishing for something else and never get it.We'll keep complaining and whining about the way things should be but never will be.Once we understand that the world won't devote itself to making us happy, we begin to accept that responsibility for ourselves.'
