For me, it was a moment during college when I thought I had everything figured out, but then I failed a crucial exam that I had been so confident about. It was a humbling experience that reminded me of the importance of hard work and perseverance, and it taught me not to take anything for granted. Sometimes, it's those moments of setback that truly ground us and shape us into better versions of ourselves

Truer words have never been said. If I had to live my life all over again, I wouldn't remove the setbacks because they have made me stronger and wiser.

I was humbled when I went to jail for 24 hours or so. I was in a holding cell. I couldn't sleep. I had never experienced loss of freedom like that, aside from being in a mental hospital as a teen.

Wow. You were in a mental hospital? What was it like in there and why were you sent to one?

Mine was when I was 16 years old, and I saw bum eating food out of the trash can. I was so moved by that, that I gave him $50 to get something to eat, and that was 33 years ago.

I kept acting out in high school. They had reached their end and decided to hospitalize me.

Couldn't they have tried a therapist or counselor first? A mental hospital is a bit extreme in my opinion.

Sometimes we have to see people in less fortunate circumstances to realize how good we have it, as we can afford the necessities to survive.

This is very true. Most people will be nagging about their situations without knowing they are far more better than thousands of people out there.
