yes.. i agree with you.. there's alot of things happen since i enter my teen hood.. i think this is what we call journey of life isn't it? this is the time where i gain most experience in my whole lifetime isn't it? i do believe life is not a bed of roses.. things are not always the way we want.. but we can work hard.. and try better.. to make things happen like what we planned for.. isn't that true? i don't know if that 99% hardwork and 1% luck rule still works.. but i do believe.. lazy people definitely won't go far.. :)

Yes, life is a must that you should face ups and downs, life is happiness or pain, it is decided by your view. If you are healthy, you are happy, if you have a goo mood, you are owning a great fortune.

Yeah, life is up and down. Sometimes someone's mistake may cause another person's pain. Someone's craziness, may cause others to die. Like the news I heard about gunner killed over 20 in a college. He is crazy and he kill other for no good reason. If you happened to be family of the victims you would be thinking why others mis behavior should be so disastrous. Life is unpredictable.

Yes you're right. Life is not all a bed of roses. It's not all happiness that revolves, pain is also there. It's not all bright light there's also dim light. Before we succeed we have to overcome challenges, hindrances, problems that arises on our way.

I believe on that, sometimes you also lie on the bed of nails, we encounter different challenges, this is to make us stronger and make our lives the best and realize that it is really worth-living. Obstacles come along our journey of life to love and embrace it.. keep smiling

Your right, life has its ups and down. sometimes your in bed of roses sometimes your in bed of thorns. Its not everyday, not everytime you will be happy there will be atime you will cry, be sad or have problems. But you must still survive and live life.

Your grandpa was right life is not a bed of roses. It's a very rocky road with a flat cemented surface sometimes. And we have to work hard to have it like a bed of rose. So it's not quite impossible. If you want to make it a bed of roses, you can. Live your dream, enjoy the present and planned carefully for tomorrow. So your life, may, slightly be like a bed of roses. Have a beautiful day Ashley!

In life we are taught to watch out for those who would do us harm. To be cautious and watch what we are doing. Roses have thorns. If you were to go outside an cut a rose from the bush would you not watch out for the thorns? So if you were to lay in a bed of roses would you not watch out for the thorns? Just lie in life you watch out for the people who would do harm to you. Thus life is like a bed of roses. You have to watch out for the thorns.

I am not agree with you but with you G.father I can explain you if you have ever play cricket or know about the cricket so take the example of cricket where when you were a small kid you use to sit in a corner and watching at your parents solving different problems where you cant contribute with them as you couldnt think that much to solve the problem but you learn with them to solve the problem at different stages now what tehy are practicing of the net and preparing for a match band you are watching them to learn the cricket. When you growing and achiving the maturity level you start practicing on the net and play with different problems some time you face unexpected bouncer, googly, youker etc. and some time you pass to play it and some times fails but you carry on with the next inning. And the first match of your life will be on the judgement day and your lord will feild for you and ask you but if you practice well in the world you can play esaily like if you did fair in the world and keep on the right way and if you abuse in the world you fill find difficulties to play and will got out. If you wins your trophy will the BAD OF ROSES and loss so we all know what will yoyr TROPHY so keep hard, go on the right way,
