"There is nothing you can do to change your past, but there is a lot one can learn from it. You could think of life as being full of misery but if you treat everyday as a new challenge, your entire perspective changes."
These are words from Shanti Devi from Delhi who was born from a poor family. At a very young age, she had been responsible for her six siblings while her parents are both striving hard to work for all of them. To help supplement her family's income, she had sewn clothes and never went to school but she made sure that all of her brothers and sisters does. The very reason why all her siblings are all well-established today.
But even short of education, Shanti Devi managed to start a business of her own with the man whom her parent's arranged for her and had been succesful in all the areas of her life. (The eldest of her 8 children is now a lawyer)
She also said that,
"Life doesn't teach us to sit and brood over any situation. It teaches us to work towards improving it. It was during the low points of our lives that we would learn the most valuable lessons. Bad times do not last forever. Life is a constant learning process."
Bad times do not last forever.
