"Ojalá no hubiera sucedido en mi tiempo pero así piensan todos los que viven para ver esos tiempos pero eso no les corresponde decidir A nosotros solo nos corresponde decidir qué hacer con el tiempo que se nos ha dado"
— J.R.R. Tolkien
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, things happen in life that we wish we could avoid, but we can't choose when these events happen. Everyone has to face tough times sooner or later. Imagine you are in school and the teacher gives a surprise test. You can't change the fact that the test is happening, but you can decide how to handle it. You can choose to try your best and learn from the experience, rather than just feeling upset that the test was a surprise. This idea is about focusing on how we respond to challenges and how we use the time and opportunities we have, rather than wishing things were different. It's about making the best of the situation we're in and taking control of our actions.
