If you look around to find meaning in everything that happens, you will end up disappointed. Sometimes there aren’t reasons behind the terrible things that go on. I ask myself, If I knew all the answers, would it help? I lie awake and wonder why I don’t have parents and wonder what will become of my brother and me. But when the morning comes, I realize that there’s nothing to be done about what has already happened. I can only get up and do my chores and push through the day and find the good in it.

About This Quote

One man's trash is another man's treasure. What we throw away today will become our treasure tomorrow. It takes a lot of work and effort to become what we are today, but when you look back at it all in the future, you'll see that even if you don't do it yourself, someone else has done it for you.
