I have been undergoing training in call center when I met this person. She was very admirable for her ideas and principles in life. She is also a christian like me. I enjoy exchanging conversations with her. She is very open and very inspiring when she talk. In short we share same interest that's why we are fond of talking to each other. At one point in our conversation she revealed to me a lot of experiences in her life that caused her pain. Her mother and her sister died about few years ago, but she was fine now already moved on. She also told me that she had experience to love before but only got heartbreak when the guy broke up with her. She told me that maybe it's because that's a guy's nature to leave you if his passion for you just fade, he will just leave you no matter what you've done for him, even though you've given everything for him. I felt sympathy for her while she continued to talk. She also revealed that writing is her first love and she have written a blogs about love. She also write articles about religion and I could say that she's very talented person. She can also sketch and sing. After observing and assessing her personality I found out that she take all those strength and inspiration thru God and also out of the pains she had experienced before.
Do you also believe that people who have experience lots of pains and hardships in life are admirable? They think deeper and they are emotionally strong. Most of the successful persons are those who had painful experiences in life.Why do you think so?

"No pains no gains."
Goes to the people who have struggled and won and admiraton goes with them because they have set a good examle that goals can be achieved even though difficult.

People who stand the test of time are survivor and really inspiring.
They are not physically strong, but emotionally and have strong faith the Lord which is undeniable.
We can see it from the past and suffering that they've gone through.
I always admire people who never rely from their own strength,but cast their life and everything to the Lord.

Do you know the stones called diamond? When miners dig this stones, it is not as beautiful as it looks when we buy it. So how come they become precious and beautiful when we buy it. It undergoes process like cutting and refining. The same thing can also be said to people who have experienced many hardship in their lives. Let us consider this hardship as a way of refining our selves so that in the end, whenever we over come this hardship (even though sometimes we fail), it will make us a better person. We are after like a diamond that needs to be refined and cut.

That is a beautiful story!
I think is not about being having a lot of painful experiences I think the people that are admirable is because have found the time to go deeper in their life to discover all their talents, of course sometimes can be because of all the pain they have faced, that make them try to focuse in the good things of the lfe than in the bad things.

Succesful people have this in common: they don't sit down and pray and hope for better times plus they are very creative. Because they are and open and find a way to expres themselves they are succesful.
It's not always about having a lot of bad life experiences (they don't need to be bad at all you just have to see them as an other experience to improve yourself).
I find all creative people admirable since they are the closest at staying who they are. They don't feel the need to be a sheep in the cattle.

I'm not sure if there is a connection between hardships and being successful. Or it depends, what does being successful mean? I'm sure though that people who went through many difficulties find what is important in life and they are more thankful to God for whatever good they get in their life from him. Well on the other hand there are people who went through hardship too but seems like they didn't learn much from it and who are not like the person you described.

In my opinion, what makes a person admirable is how open-minded and opinionated a person is.
All of us have been to a life experience to another, and it depends on the person who he/she empower himself/herself with the ability to move on and learn from it.
Each one of us has a way how we live our life. We also have our own principles in life. We are unique on our own special way. And so, we can not measure one's being admirable to how much experience a person has, but how one person is able to lead their life in a way being able to grow spiritually, emotionally and mentally.

I never really made the connection that successful
people are those who have experienced a lot of pain
and sorrow. I do know this, successful people never give
up. They keep going no matter what. Pain in life can make
a person stronger no doubt. I don't think successful
people dwell on it though. There are two kinds of people.
Those who make life happen or those who stand by and say
what happened.

Somehow true. I think is because when you are faced with so much pain and problem. It comes a time when you learn to accept the pain and sufferings. They become part of you. Accepting helps one to move forward and every time you are faced with the same kind of problem, it becomes easy to sort it out. You become also well equipped emotionally.
