It’s interesting how adversity changes people in different ways. Some break and can’t accept the reality of the situation, while others push through, and come out stronger than before.

Happiness is not getting what we don’t have but to realize and appreciate what we do have. Happiness and success is internal, in the end what is a mansion worth if you don’t feel happy inside. So good job fighting through this and turning a negative into something positive.

One of the hardest experiences I had was when me and my dad started a company in China. When we needed to expand we found a factory that could help us do that and we moved the entire production there. It was during winter, which usually did not get very cold in that area, in fact it was very seldom you saw snow.

But this winter a snow storm came, the biggest recorded snow storm ever. And the factory was not built to take the load of the snow collecting on the roof, so the whole roof caved in and ruined
All the machines. And just like that the journey was over.

The experience made me stronger simply because I pushed through the pain. My skin got a lot thicker and I realized that during those years I spent I had been so focused on success that I had let the important things slip through my fingers. This memory is like a trampoline, that pushes me back when I fall, because I know I can always get back up no matter what situation I will face.
