0:00Imagine you talked to the creator of the universe before birth and pick the person you get to become. You say, "I want to be the most courageous." The creator replies [music] and says, "Well, then I will give you monsters to terrify you so that you can conquer them." Then you say, "Well, I want to be patient." "Well, then [music] I will make you work harder and longer so you can learn to wait." "I want to be wise." And the creator replies, "Then I will give you failures that will crush your spirit [music] so you can learn the value of judgment." You then say, "Sounds like a rough life. Can you give me a good life?" Creator replies, [music] "Just like we measure the quality of a blacksmith by the strength of his steel, I measure you by what [music] you are at the end, not the fire and the hammer it took to make you. A good life isn't a life that's easy. A good life is a life that makes you into a good [music] person. And that, my son, is a hard life."
