In 1990, when I was just 7 years old, my father passed away, and I was diagnosed with Tuberculosis. My mother, despite all the hardships, took care of us with unwavering strength. When I asked her why we were suffering, she told me, “It’s not pain, it’s pleasure. God wants us to live with love and joy, and that’s the reason. Obstacles are not obstacles; you have to think about how you can turn them into possibilities – mastering yourself.” At that young age, I didn’t fully understand her words, but they have since guided me through life. Her wisdom taught me to always seek love and joy, and it’s this mindset that has driven me to constantly pursue knowledge and personal growth.
