I am reading a book, which is all about, pessimism, and yet hope that surpasses all pessimism, it says relating an anecdote that human life should be like a tree which bursts into buds and leaves every time a branch of it is broken from the parent tree and pushed into the ground, the author says that one should be like that, one should grow when life tries to put you down...

I really liked the way the writer conveyed his message. The story gives hope and at times that`s what man needs the most. Nice piece of work. i wanted to add a quote, it went something like:
`you were never given a wish, without also being given the power of making it come true.`

Xoheb Sheikh,

I see you have quoted a line from Paulo Coelho`s book The Alchemist.

I once read a quote, somewhere, sometime in the past, that went:

``A man is only as big as the dream he dares to live.``

Keep writing.

Peace!
