How you handle every situation you go through says alot. Arte you going to let people control your life, be violent and say very derogative things to make you obey them? Are you going to let people cut you down without standing up for yourslef? Do you want people around that does not have good intentions around you? Why feel sorry for people are strong enough to know that they do not need anyone who scams people and talks very bad about everyone they come in contact with! Life can be very good or very bad. That is up to each person every day. Are you going to hate people because they write from their own experiences and know the worst that can happen to everyone person and that you ahve the right to do what you want so long as you hrut no one?

For me, the experiences we have had as we go through our life can make us either stronger and weaker - depending on what we make of it. If we always use the trauma that we have encountered that we are unable to move on... then it meant that you are choosing to make yourself weaker and unable to move on with your life and tae the challenges or the experiences and learn from it.

I think daily experinces make you stronger! Today is one of those days that my faith was really tested.. I was in a store with a friend and my youngest son.. I come out and my van was hit. No one around and no note, no nothing.. Now my passager side front panel is all screwed up.. There were a couple other things that were not so great that happen today.. But there is no point crying over it or getting angry.. Tommorrow I have to solve these problems.. I have a plan.. Now its the follow though.. I am just extremely happy that my van is still road weathy, and its not too much labor to get it fixed... I wont know for sure until the panel is taken off.. So I pray its all ok..

Well I think it depends on what you are doing. If you are doing things with an approach of control, the experiences could make you being able to avoid a lot of mistakes and then stronger. However, if you mainly do things with a fighting method, it could be negative. An experience in the later situation for me is playing table tennis. I don't have enough techniques so I could only play in a extremely offensive style. It's kind of violent that I just try to hit ball as offensive as I can with my back hand. If I succeeded to hit the ball, it would be very hard for the opposite to save it, but I would always make mistakes as the style is "I win or I die" style. After playing table tennis daily for a semester, I felt that the experience made me feel that I no longer fight so uncompromisingly. I became afraid of mistakes and became more and more conservative and defensive in playing. That made me lose more matches and my techniques are worse than others, try to be offensive and fighting is the only way for me. But for studying in maths, experiences make me being able to avoid many common errors in the tests and they make me get a higher score. So they make me stronger in this situation.

I rely on my own experiences, thu I also listen to other people. There is nothing wrong listening to other people's experiences if it will help us in our daily lives. Take for an example those people who shares bad experiences- like being cheated or robbed and how they share it to everyone as a warning. Therefore, other people's experiences is not that bad at all. From our own experiences we learned the greatest lesson in life. But some people doesn't know how to avoid doing the same mistake- or some are indeed fool. It is how you handle life based from your own experiences or how you take those experiences as a lesson- in bad and good side of it.

We all let others in one way or an other control our lives. If you are sick and need to see a doctor you can only get an appointment if the assistents tell you when. You need to be in time at school or at your job. You are not allowed to stay away. You need to pay taxes. If you want to buy something you need money, you can only buy it if the shop is open, etc etc. You are forced to have a health insurance, if you want to buy a house you are forced to take some other insurance incl. a life insurance. Whole day on you are controlled, pushed by people (with or without organisations) in ways you mostly don't like. How to handle this? Or how to stand up for yourself? I think that will be hard. The only thing you can do is to stay as far as away from other people. Take good care of yourself. Give things time to solve themselves and take enough time to relax (which is the most easy in your own house, without radio, tv, phone or people standing at the front door. And if so I do not open. I do believe people have the right to do what they want. This is what freedom means. But fact is people/society can not stand people who are strong. Who do go their own way. Who do not need others to be someone or to feel (more) secure. Who believe in themselves and their own capacity. People like that are mostly bullied, ignored, called crazy or a-social.

Hello it depends on the way you take it? i mean how you take it. if you take as a lesson to the life you ll be stronger. if you take as a negative thing you ll fallen down and will be weak. If there is no barrios that life has no any beauty. so face it. always do not wish a easy life, always wish a strong heart to face a difficult life. Good luck !!!
