Bad experiences have a different amount of degree base from its intensity, perception or severity. Failed relationships, Accidents, traumatic events, embarassing moments and all the problems can be our bad experiences. These experiences are essential to people whether you like it or not. With these, we can be able to learn deeper and appreciate goodness from the bad things that happen to us. We need to turn these negative events into good and positive outcome for us to survive and become strong person. There a numerous inspiring stories in the television are being shown everyday about triumphs, success and miracles people experience after they...
