Josh Billings Life is complex. Situations may arise that will make it harder for you to reach your financial goals. Remember this: It's not the situation, but whether we react (negative) or respond (positive) to the situation that's important. --Zig Ziglar In my experience, optimism, truth, and positivity attracts money to you.

Hosseini and Dickens use the organization and structure of reappearing minor characters to develop the major characters, revealing

I struggled to keep my head above water as fierce waves battered against my fragile body. My lungs screamed in anguish as harsh cold water filtered into them, steadily consuming the space that had moments ago been occupied by oxygen. As I felt my strength waning, I wondered if fighting was even worth it. After all, it would be just as easy to let the waves overtake me and be gone forever.
