Two quotes that motivate me

People are forgetful. That's why there are some lessons that we need to relearn. Once in a while, we came across some words that stuck in our mind. In my case, two quotes stand out.

The first one is : Struggle is nature's way of strengthening. From the TV series LOST
The other one is : Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do. John R.Wooden

When I am faced with difficulties, the first quote give me a new perspective on my struggle. I am not saying it's easy. I still need to tell and retell myself that, ok, this sure sucks, but can you get something out of it, even you may fail miserably. If I look hard enough, I can find something.

Sometimes what I want to do seems intimidating. It is not just an obstacle, it is a mountain. Inaction is the default. But John's words tell me that even though I can't do this, there are some equally important things that I can do.

These two quotes sure get me through some difficult times. I am lucky to have met them.
