Words from the Wise

"Above all, don't fear difficult moments. The best comes from them." - Rita Levi Montalcini


Ms. Montalcini is a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who recently turned 100 years old. She feels that her mind is sharper than it was at the age of 20. Her words resonate with me because it comes at a point in my life when I feel a lot of difficulty. So I ask myself what is the lesson here? When one is in a difficult situation we sometimes forget that there is always a lesson. We also forget that the "best" outcome does come from a horrible situation. Why is that? The best outcome means becoming a better person. A person that is wiser, stronger, and more insightful.
