Life takes our exams in different ways sometime with happiness sometime with grieve some time we have challenges in our life like financial ups and downs , upset relations, losing someone,feeling neglect,health risks etc but i learn every situation comes to make us more stronger.Life challenges comes and explore our hidden qualities which we don`t know before.and when we overcome the situation we find out our-self more strong and powerful.
I read in Holy Quran , Allah says" We have certainly created man into hardship."

One hard lesson which i learn, was how to make myself feel better instead of asking for help from the same person that made me hurt.Be kind.Let us be grateful to the people who makes us happy and be grateful to the people who gives us hard time and makes us stronger.I choose joy so i will find it.by Changing expectations.Do not expect more.I think we can not build sentiments in others heart by our words.Be strong and ignore negative attitude.Smile and go ahead.
