Wisdom through struggle; A Poem About How I See Life
Below are my top 20+1 most valuable poems that keep me going even at times when the going seems impossible.
The true purpose of light is revealed in darkness, for what need is there for light when daylight already makes all things clear? In the same way, your impact is most powerful in times of trial, and your solution is most valuable where others have tried and failed. To abandon hard problems simply because many before you could not solve them is to embrace greater failure. Let your light shine in moments of turbulence and uncertainty, so that others may see it and never doubt its authenticity
The best of days are filled with problems you can solve; the worst with those you cannot.
No man can be wise who has never been unwise.
No mind can be sharp that has never been dulled by folly.
Tough men are not born; tough battles forge them.
Wisdom is the child of reality wrestled with and overcome.
He who asks for rain must be ready for the storm.
He who seeks gold must endure the fire.
Every blessing hides a burden.
From evil comes good, and from darkness comes light.
The furnace that burns you also purifies you.
The mountain that blocks you also strengthens you.
The road of ease teaches little, but the road of trial teaches much.
A man who has not stumbled cannot guide the weary.
A heart that has not been broken cannot carry compassion.
To conquer without struggle is to win without wisdom.
A bitter root often bears the sweetest fruit.
Pain is the school where courage is taught.
Shadows make the light more glorious.
The hand that endures the weight learns true strength.
Greatness hides behind doors guarded by struggle.
