About This Quote

My dad always says that you don't get to choose what happens in the world, only how you react to it. When my dad was talking about this quote, he was basically saying you can't stop the bad things that happen to you, but you can control how you react to them. He might have been talking about life in general or he might have been talking about his own life. I don't know!
