what things in life had made you stronger?

Littlemisslizzy @Littlemisslizzy (100) 1 Feb 09

They say that what doesn't kill us makes us stronger. I do not believe that we are born with strength of character but I do believe we build resilience as we get older if the conditions are right. I think that some people go...

AKRao24 @AKRao24 (27424) • India 6 Oct 08
