About This Quote
Life is a series of obstacles that we encounter. The question is how well we cope with these obstacles and how well we can adapt to the unexpected turns in our lives. If you have been blessed with a stable job, it is easy for you to plan for your future. However, when you lose your job, it is hard for you to recover from the shock. In fact, if you don’t have a stable income, not only would it be difficult for you to plan your future, but you would have a hard time focusing on your present situation.
