An Open Letter of Appreciation to Adversity

Dear Adversity,

Thank you for all the important lessons of life.  Through you 

I learnt to tell friends and foe apart.  I got to identify and 

know the "real" person" behind the beautiful masks.  

Moreover, you taught me the importance of patience,

courage, endurance and all kinds of strength to keep

me moving forward in life.  You are a blessing, not a 

punishment.  If not because of you, I would never know

the right from wrong. Thanks for putting me in the right

path where I have learnt to appreciate and be contented.

You are a test that only the strong and determined ones

go through.  

With much gratitude,

A stronger ME.
