I taught in secondary school years ago. The principal of the school used to tell the students, You may not be able to change what's going on, but you can change the way you react to it. Kind of make your own heaven and hell, no matter where you are :)
I like the collage. Interesting, well-expressed concept.
As Oscar Wilde said, “The optimist sees the donut, the pessimist sees the hole.” Thanks for the valuable lesson. Have a good day!
