Lessons from your past

Tweet

I was talking with my boyfriend earlier and we come up to a topic which led him to discuss his past experiences. He used to be rich kid who knows nothing in life but eat and have almost everything set on his plate until come a time when his mom passed away. After few years his dad met another woman and they were left alone, this world turned the opposite. He's been out in school, had days when he had nothing to eat, and had to work hard at the age of 15 to survive his day. Some relatives of him even put him down for his efforts, at some point he told me that he lost hope but he never stopped. Now that he's successful in life, he had nothing but lessons to tell and share to his close friends and people who once like quitting. He told me that if those things didn't happen he wouldn't imagine himself to be as successful as he is now. I'm glad I haven't experience what he had gone through, I'm not sure how to pull myself out of it. But i guess people has it's own way of handling his life. What experiences you had from your past which pushed you to become a better you?
