Like a chunk of carbon under tremendous pressure, if you do not collapse into a thousand crumbs, you will metamorphose into a matchlessly hard diamond.

“Đời cha ăn mặn, đời con khát nước.”
“When the father’s generation eats salt, the child’s generation thirsts for water.”
-Vietnamese proverb
No one has ever succeeded in any pride-worthy endeavor without first having passed through a period of pain, whether it related to career, physical fitness, or even their social lives. Major life changes, even positive ones, are painful. The pain signifies that you have stepped beyond your comfort zone.
