"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it."
Helen Keller
Life is not about what happens to you. It is about how you respond to what happens to you! The same situation may trigger different responses by two different people. Blindness can force a person to beg. But the same blindness can motivate a person to take it as a challenge to come up in life. Helen Keller has proved this.
Rejection has destroyed many entrepreneurs. But Walt Disney was not destroyed. In fact a series of rejections made Walt Disney. JK Rowling got so many rejections from leading publishers. But her response to rejections was different from any other writer. Set backs are common. But a constructive response to setback is uncommon which distinguishes great people from ordinary.
I am an educationist and I spend a lot of my time in schools where I come across many parents whose children are dyslexic. Dyslexia is a problem which results in learning difficulties. But this did not stop great people like Albert Einstein, Steven Spielberg, Winston Churchill, and General Paton etc from achieving great things in their lives in of their dyslexic background.
We will have problems as we work towards our goal. It is up to us to take problems as stepping stones or stumbling blocks. It depends on our mindset!
