In case you thought it was going to be easy you were wrong. I once would like to see the place where it says that life is going to be a paradise. Therefore why are we surprised when we see or read about tragedy?

I personally think that the true tragedy in life is living a lfe not aware of the true meaning in life. We have allowed the media to convince us of something that is not true.

If we get an education and work hard for a company then we will have all we need. The reality is that the only way to get what we want is to know what we want and put forth the energy to achieve our goals.

We can always say that if we work harder or not spend so much things will work out. I know things will work out if we recognize why we were put here.

In tragedy we should keep our eye on what has real value. We may have to sacrifice for a while. However if our health, family, marriage and personal life stays in tact then we are better of.

The other part is keeping our spirits up. Negative attitude drains energy. Hope inspires. I have always said we can either build or destroy.

In addition we sometimes need to be prepared to adapt to new challenges. The days of working till retirement for one company or in one idustry are over.

Technology changes to fast for things to remain the same.

People who do not have vision cannot plan.

Therefore do not let the media define you.

Define yourself and use your skills to overcome.
