"それが私の時代に起こる必要はなかったと思うが、そのような時代を見るすべての人も同じだが、それは彼らが決めることではない。私たちが決めなければならないのは、与えられた時間をどう使うかだけだ。"
— 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.
