    "If you ask people the main 3 or 4 things that really shaped who they are...being happy with who they are, they're almost all tragedies". Many authors explored this theme, and this is a great way to summarise the concept.
    Tough reality, but that's life. Going through tragedies and hurdles means going also out of the comfort zone that ultimately leads to improvement and new discoveries.
