What are some inspirational stories worth sharing?

self-driven

"Although the world is full of suffering, there are cases of overcoming it." This quote is from the famous orator Helen Keller. At first, when I saw this quote, the first thing that struck me was that this world is indeed full of possibilities, but not everyone, I guess, is capable of making miracles.  

We will always encounter some troubles and difficulties, maybe like Helen, it may be a physical disability, maybe from the family's own misfortunes, or maybe from the outside world's troubles. We will always encounter those things that we do not know what to do, but how many people, have enough confidence to change the status quo?  

Maybe once upon a time, we also have wanted to struggle, we tell ourselves, there are difficulties is to overcome, so I try to move forward, and constantly to want to defeat the weight on our head, want to become a winner. However, things are often not as simple as we think, even if we really try, whether we can overcome is another answer. We succeed, we may be better off for a while, but we fail and bring more uncertainty.  

But, no matter what, we always go on alive. Whether we succeed or fail, it's all about moving forward. In the anime movie "The Thousand and One", there is this quote - "No matter how rough the road ahead is, as long as the direction is correct, it is closer to happiness than standing still." Therefore, when we encounter difficulties and feel overwhelmed, firm up our beliefs, don't care whether we can succeed or not, we have to fight and try to see, in order to grow and know our own shortcomings, so that we can walk a good path in the future.  

Just like you try to prepare for a test for a long time, you spend countless energy and time for this, but not a satisfactory result. It may seem like the effort is useless, which is a much more saddening thing. But in fact not, not ideal results, not the same as your efforts are not useful, this can even respond to more problems, such as the part you lack, is not enough effort, or is not the mindset has not been adjusted, this is what we should think about the problem, rather than just think, failure is a thing of shame. Failure is not shameful, there are always people will fail, no failure of life, not necessarily perfect. Effort, on the other hand, always leads to something.  

We work hard, not because we can definitely succeed, but because if we don't work hard, we are not even qualified to succeed. We can't guarantee that something can be 100% good, but we can make ourselves better, starting with believing in ourselves.  We each have our own sufferings in life. You don't have to be happy because your suffering is not as bad as someone else's, but because you are able to face life well and be happy. Because life is your own, you don't need to live it for others, and you don't need to care about others, who are rude and hurtful to your life. By facing life well and facing its sufferings, we can be happier.
