When Life puts you through tough situations don't say Why me?, say, Try me?
by Angelos

 

At the beginning when you first look at this sentence, you might probably think: "yeah, it talks about how we should never give up and complain, even when things are difficult" or "it's just like the Nike sentence thing, the 'Just do it' thing"...etc, but it gets a whole new meaning (at least for me) now. At first whenever I read this kind of sentences, I always represented myself in a difficult time. But now I more represent myself along with everyone (my family, my friends, my teachers and even people I don't know), facing the same difficulty, which is more psychological than physical - except for the unfortunate who suffer from this bloody virus, respect for them and their families :(. 

This sentence also corresponds a little to the motivation I believe we should all have, I litterally mean that, it's not even an army of 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 aliens, it's only a tiny little virus! "Try me", yes "Try me"! I won't complain to the walls for this situation. I will fight COVID-19 fair and square!
