Nairaland Forum

Okay,was reading an accounting textbook by c.s ola and in the dedication what was written there excited my thinking.
First "God blessings are hidden in humans dissapointments and sorrows".
Lasty"the agony of my family which has made us understand that life must be lived forward but understood backward"by prof c.s ola.
My question now to the people of nairaland is how do we understand life?or what do we view life to be,how has life treated you and how have you treated life?answers not just any random answers but thought provoking answers.
