a variety of lessons from experiences. Life is beautiful but is not at all time easy. We
dealt with problems, disputes, failures and a lot more – but that’s the beauty of life ---
being able to face all these with strength, courage, and hope makes living all
worthwhile.
No doubt, life is beautiful and every moment – a celebration of being alive, but
one should be always ready to face adversities and challenges. A person who has not
encountered difficulties in life can never achieve success. Difficulties test the courage,
patience, perseverance and true character of a human being moreso of the society at
large.
When I was tasked to make a drawing and have it colored with art materials, my
initial reaction was surprisingly the same with my other classmates. Past memories
suddenly flashbacked to my mind. I remembered the same feeling I felt when I first
stepped in the grounds of LPU, as a freshmen college student, who burns the mid night
oil, makes sacrifices and resists temptations so that I can perform well in class. I really
had that same difficulty when I started making or coloring my drawing. I am not an
artist not even close to being one, it just dawned on me that it really was painstakingly

The thorns of life remind us that success and happiness can be evasive and thus
we should not feel disappointed and disheartened rather remember that the pain of
thorns is short-lived, and the beauty of life would soon overcome the prick of thorns.
Suddenly, through this art activity in humanities, I realized that those, who think,
that good times last forever, easily succumb to pressure during difficulties. They do not
put in required hard work and efforts because they break down easily.
I then realized that really, there is no doubt that there can be no gain without
pain. It is only when one toils and sweats it out that success is nourished, attained and
sustained.
To sum up, life is beautiful just as roses but it has challenges like thorns and
have to be faced and overcome by all. Those, who accept these challenges and succeed,
are the ones, who know how to live life in its true sense. Thus, to enjoy life is to be
Life itself is an art. It is a gift from Almighty and how we use such gift wisely is
our gift in return. Let us learn to use it well for the improvement and betterment of the
