If only tenacity and resilience can be imparted to others who are lacking... That'd seriously reduce the incidences of supermen and aquamen.

He held up real good despite what he was dealt.

Impressive young man. His path was not easy by any standard. I was surprised that a guy in his 20s went through that.

This situation is more commonly seen in the 1980s.

A rare against all odds motivating story, but I would like to believe many would not be as lucky. He probably start life with a bad decade life cycle and now he's on good luck cycle already.

Some people whole life also bad cycle, aka me, I just did another reading from a reader, and he said I won't huat or be happy until 58yo onwards...so depressing.

I read myself, and have many people read for me in different ways different techniques and teaching, all suggest I'll only do better in life after 50s. Fml. By then about to kiao liao, do well got what use.

so his ns was before or after his poly?they didnt state where exactly.seeing his entry to school was delayed a decade.

1thing I find is that their family unity very strong. And the key is that the children was not lead astray by bad influences. 9 out of 10 similar cases the children will be joining gangs etc for companionships. And he chooses his friends well.

Just like in any game, you lose only when it's game over.

If you give up prematurely, you already lost before the game ends.

The same applies to people with a shorter runway. The difficulty level might become higher but your past experiences can help you navigate the game better. Again, you only lose when it's game over.
