On Adversity...

From Rainer Maria Rilke, Famous German Poet, thinker and writer..

"What is required of us is that we love the difficult and learn to deal with it. In the difficult are the friendly forces, the hands that work on us. Right in the difficult we must have our joys, our happiness, our dreams: there against the depth of this background, they stand out, there for the first time we see how beautiful they are"

-Selected letters of Rainer Maria Rilke

"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave"

-Rainer Maria Rilke

To all my dear friends and readers, Go slay some dragons!

The (Soon to be) Dragon Slayer,
Yuen
