“When something bad happens, you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or let it strengthen you”
— Dr. Seuss
Simplified Meaning:
When bad things happen, you can react in different ways. First, you can let it take over your life and feel like that bad thing is who you are. For example, if you lose a job, you might think you're a failure and always see yourself that way. Second, you can let it ruin you. This happens when you give up on everything and stop trying because you're so upset about what happened. Third, you can use the bad experience to become stronger. Imagine someone who didn't get into their dream school. Instead of giving up, they work even harder and eventually succeed in a different way. By choosing to grow from tough situations, you improve yourself and find new strength. This advice helps us decide to keep going and become better, no matter what hardships we face.
