Beware of the Turing tar-pit in which everything is possible but nothing of interest is easy.

不如意的事要能排遣，日子清苦要能守得住，无道理的事要受得住，愤怒产生时要忍耐，欲望产生时要克制。

"La literatura no cambia el mundo, pero puede cambiar a las personas que cambiarán el mundo."

The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive. You will never truly know yourself, or the strength of your relationships, until both have been tested by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned.
