When you become part of anything, it becomes a part of you. Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer of life. Whatever good or bad fortune comes your way, you must give it meaning and transform it into something of value. Growth is the process of responding positively to change.
Growth means change and change involves risks, stepping from the known to the unknown.
All your growth depends on activity. It comes only through continuous effort and struggle. You will have no development, without effort. Nature chips and pounds you to bring out your possibilities. She will strip you of wealth, humble your pride, humiliate your ambition, let you down from the ladder of fame, will discipline you in a thousand ways, if she can develop a little character.
