My thoughts: One day ,in retrospect, the years of struggle will strike you as the most beautiful. As we always say sufferings ere treasurein our life. Sufferings make us get to know what is wrong with ourselves and push us to be stronger. A life without strugglingisn’t worth living. The person who hurt us most was well remembered; the thingwhich gave us the biggest blow can giveus a meaningful lesson; the words whichheard most unpleasant are much more beneficial . Sometimes we tend to evadesufferings and even afraid of them,because to experience sufferings is really tortured, which will drive us nuts. However, years later, when we look back, it is these painful days that give us the courage to move on and it is these tearing undergoings that we are most proud of.
