I was really been touched and by your post, first, living a life you must adapt to changes either the weather, the suffering to wealth vice versa, health challenges due to accident, even at loss of most loved person in the world, we still cope and adapt.
And if we are to choose what we want how the likes of Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, Obafemi Awolowo and others will discover the greatness in them. I believe the ability not to choose what we want we help us to determine all the great things that we can do but if we are to choose I think 99% will choose wealthy family and 80% will be lazy because there will not essence of working or been creative.
