 "Sometimes when something happens, we think it shouldn't have happened that way. That's why we feel, when a loved one dies, when we lose a job, a friend, or suffer any kind of defeat, that everything has ended.
But it’s not true!

That's always the beginning…

Because greatness is achieved not when everything goes well, but when life tests you, when you stumble greatly, when you're disappointed, when sadness overcomes you. Only by being in the deepest part of the valley can one understand how magnificent it is to be at the top of a mountain."

Anthony Hopkins
