“Dad, the day you made me walk from school to home on my last day of high school is etched in my memory. I had such bad ankle pain.”
“Hmm, that was two decades ago, son. But let’s not forget the moral lesson from that day. Despite the pain, you encountered unexpected blessings. You met the girl who later became your wife during that walk. She not only helped you overcome your struggles with drugs but also supported your education, playing a pivotal role in your successful career. The positive side of that seemingly challenging journey is the love and support that blossomed, leading to the family you have today with two wonderful children. The lesson here is to focus on the positive, even in challenging situations, and to be grateful for the unexpected blessings that life may bring.”
