The strongest People

All the people I found inspiring, strong and brave have had immense difficulties in reaching where they are today. The major difference between them and everybody else is that they chose to keep moving forward no matter what.
I've known that whatever we become is a direct result of our childhoods- our personalities, our attitudes, our behaviors, everything. But I recently learnt that people who go thru difficult childhoods can turn bitter, or turn out to be the purest of the people.
It's the direction you choose to walk on. It's what you decide to make out of yourself.
Your situation, your background, your learnings will matter a lot, but your attitude towards life is what will be the game-changer
