"Thus when Heaven is going to give a great responsibility to someone, it first makes his mind endure suffering. It makes his sinews and bones experience toil, and his body to suffer hunger. It inflicts him with poverty and knocks down everything he tries to build

In this way, Heaven stimulates his mind, stabilizes his temper, and develops his weak points. People will always err, but it is only after making mistakes that they can correct themselves. Only when you have been mentally constricted, can you become creative. It will show in your face, and be heard in your voice, such that you will affect others.

From this we can know that life is stimulated from adversity and anxiety, and death results from relaxation and pleasure.

Acting without being clear, practicing without close observation: Doing this to the end of their lives without ever understanding their own course. This is the way most people are."

- Mencius, Chinese philosopher and sage
