When You Don’t Have Much, Having Less

I Am Old Enough To Know Only Too Well My Good And Bad Qualities, Which Were Often One In The Same.

I’ve Never Thought Much About Whether I Was Happy Or If I Had Fun As A Child. I Was A So-so Girl Who Lived With A So-so Family In A So-so Village. I Didn’t Know That There Might Be Another Way To Live, And I Didn’t Worry About It Either.

I Wonder If There Was Anything I Would Have Done Differently. I Hope I Would Have Done Everything Differently, Except I Know Everything Would Have Turned Out The Same. That's The Meaning Of Fate.

Maybe We're All Like That With Our Mothers. They Seem Ordinary Until One Day They're Extraordinary.

Seeing Something Once Is Better Than Hearing About It A Hundred Times. Doing Something Once Is Better Than Seeing It A Hundred Times.
