Hi Everyone,

Today chị Huệ posted 25 quotes in one posting. So let's use some of these quotes for our discussion. Please tell what you feel about any of the following quotes.

Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage.
(William Ellery Channing)

Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.
( Sigmund Freud)

When all else is lost, the future still remains. (Christian Nevell Boyee)

Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while , so that we can see Life with a clearer view again. (Alex Tan)

That's it. Have a great day.

Hoanh

    “Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage”
    I really like this quote because of its truth. Difficulties always be a part of life, so everybody has already been in them. And I am sure that many people were discouraged by difficulties. But, if we look at the difficulties in another direction, we will recognize that the difficulties just actually make us grow up. In fact, when you are in difficulties, you may fail or succeed, but you will have more experience about life. So, when you are in difficulties, you should be calm, find out the way to solve them; do not discourage, because of “Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage”.

  3. Wow, Nguyên, Thùy Linh & THu Trang, you all are so good. Where have you been until now? What can I say? Chi Hue said she would give TL and TT feedback so I will leave it to her. About Nguyen, I can't see anything other than "because of", you just have to takle out the "of" and keep the "because."

    All of you are very impressive. Stay with this discussion every day. You will go very far.

    Have a great day/night :-)

    I like the quote "Perhaps our eyes need to be washed by our tears once in a while , so that we can see Life with a clearer view again". i have been in such situation. you know, two years ago, my life, my study came very smoothly. But when i had to leave my family and went to another city to study university, there are many problems. Life has changed, study became worse, it was not easy to see what is right and what is wrong any more. Lacking of experience about life, sometimes i didn't respect the others even though i don't know about them deeply. And consequence is that i have lost a lot of good relations, good friends. A long time after that, i knew that was my fault Until now, i can not tolerate myself for such characteristic. And now, i judge people very careful and realize that everyone around me have good points that i have to learn, i see the Life with clearer eyes.
