Yann MartelYou must take life the way it comes at you and make the best of it.
About This Quote
When you meet a situation, you must take the best from it and not let it bring you down. You should not let any situation bring you down, but only take the best out of it. Sometimes people have to face problems and they have to deal with them. They have to face situations that they cannot handle on their own.
Some people cannot do this at all. Some people can handle their problems and learn from them and do better next time. Others cannot handle their problems.
They get depressed over them and give up on life altogether. Some people, like Nelson Mandela, who has lived through apartheid in South Africa, has taken the best from every situation he has faced in life. He is now regarded as one of the most influential people in the world today.
He is known for his perseverance and courage despite the fact that he was imprisoned for 27 years for fighting for equality in South Africa.
