All the joys and pains of life come in the challenges it lays before us. These are always met in one of two ways.

The first is to accept the challenge head-on and find pleasure in working through it, conquering it and learning from it, ultimately growing as a human being.

Each new challenge is an opportunity to tackle the vicissitudes of life.

The second is to admit defeat upon its presentation, complain endlessly and sulk about it, ultimately getting nothing done to change the circumstance (or even the attitude towards it).

The second way accomplishes nothing while the first changes the world.
