"Without difficulties, life would be like a stream……" — Benjamin Hoff
"Without difficulties, life would be like a stream without rocks and curves – about as interesting as concrete. Without problems, there can be no personal growth, no group achievement, no progress of humanity. But what mattes about problems is what one does with them."
