While you are in trouble

I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection.



-- Thomas Paine (1737-1809) British-American Writer


I would like to be a person who can gather strength from distress and smile in trouble.  With that, I may grow brave by reflection!

Only when we have experience distress, we know we need strength to battle with life and stand against all odds!

When we are able to gather strength from distress, we can then smile in trouble and grow brave by reflection.

In life, without distress, we may not gather strength, and we can not grow brave as nothing is there for our reflection.

Hence, in retrospect, your distress in life is helping you to gather strength and allow you to be braver than you usually are!
