Life is simple

"I don't know why terrible things happen, but we must believe that misfortune will bring us new hope at the same time." This is what Bethany's teacher advised her after the accident.

"I don't need to be easy, I need possibility." When Dad told Bethany that it is not so easy to go surfing again, Bethany answered. "Possibility always exists" Dad replied.

"You didn't lose everything. You are still far from losing everything. The shark didn't take you away. You are still among us." When Bethany was discouraged, Dad persuaded her like this.

"Thank you, thank you for being tit-for-tat with me. This is very important to me." Bethany told her opponent.

"How can this be cancelled?" Dad was very angry at the result. "It has not been cancelled" Bethany smiled sweetly. Ranking is not important at all.

"What should I do now?" "Feel it and enjoy it. Enjoy it in the rest of my life."

Life is actually very simple, so simple that we can't understand it, so we feel it and enjoy it, no matter how big it is frustration.
