Fighting through tough times supposedly makes you a better person, specially if you adapt a very positive attitude. It also builds character to encounter and overcome hurdles in life.
These hurdles could be minor bumps in the eyes of others, but that does not matter. What matters is that you are facing the problem and that you must overcome it. Do not listen to others who seek to belittle your problems. Instead seek strength and guidance from those who want to see you succeed. Do not surround yourself with yes men, they won't bring you anywhere good.
Out.
