oh ya thx for updating it=)
I think it is very true and that it means our difficulties brong out the better in us and teach us how to solve our problems, so that we can exceed in them, rather than to run away from them. If our lives were trouble-free we wouldn't learn anything. Mistakes come from difficulties, and you learn from your own mistakes.
And I guess life would be sort of boring if it was all happy-go-lucky lol

I definitely agree. Beautiful quote, Ghungroo!

I personally have seen that I perform better under pressure. Like I'll be doing my 5 page paper the night before it's due and I'll get an A+. It's weird but that just happens. I tend to study ahead of time but reviews are always a couple days before the exams and I do extremely well.

I think under pressure we become what we truly our. We can show that we are very courageous and all in normal life but we may become afraid of the problems and people who don't seem so confident can perform pretty well in distress. I think the true winner is the one who attacks his/her problems with dignity!

I say that Mahi said it all.
This quote is beautiful and to me it means that whenever someone hopes for a life without difficulties, they should remember that a person grow's more stronger with the difficulties than without.
I have to agree with this quote. It says everything and don't think any changes are needed.

I think the quote is really strong is powerful. I love the way it's defined the first section by giving examples of a beautiful thing like a dimond.
