obstacles

Patience and perseverance have a magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.

Obstacles, of course, are developmentally necessary: they teach kids strategy, patience, critical thinking, resilience and resourcefulness.

You can never be defeated in life, you are a learner.

The best way to treat obstacles is to use them as stepping-stones. Laugh at them, tread on them, and let them lead you to something better.
