"And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles, you would have never realized your potential, strength, will power or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity - all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.
「有時，一些事情發生了，它們看上去是那麼可怕、痛苦和不公;但細想一下你就會明白，如果沒有去努力克服這些難題，你將永遠也不會知道自己的潛能、力量、意志力和內心。任何事情的發生都是有原因的，沒有一件事是偶然發生的或是因了某種好運或厄運發生的。疾病、傷害、愛、真正的偉大的消逝和完全的愚蠢――所有這一切的發生都是對你的精神極限的考驗。不管這考驗是一些事件、疾病或是某種關係，沒有了它們，生活都將只剩下陽光大道，安穩、舒適，但卻單調、沒有意義，不會通往任何地方。
