Found this on another board:

"If you run away from certain efforts and activities that life imposes on you, you will never manage to develop yourself. Some people leave their family or work because they find life too hard. Others run away from their responsibilities. The fact is that running away is not recommended. Destiny puts you in certain conditions for a reason. You have to reinforce yourself and face the difficulties and obstacles of your daily life. Consider these models: sportsmen who train themselves to overcome fatigue, cold, and heat, and navigators who confront the ocean, braving bad weather and great dangers. You must do the same psychologically: train yourself to resist, to hold on. Of course, if a time comes when you cannot bear the situation anymore, run away. But do come back as soon as you can to face things... until you become really steadfast and strong."

Disagree, life is not a challenge as this quote is putting it out to be. Life is what you make it, if you are unhappy in your current situation you should leave and not return if you don't want too...or challenge yourself too an early death, hell what do I know...

Nice but I like this one:

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy"

It is a good quote Kleisto but running away can also open a new path or destiny for us!!

As a rule of thumb,if I feel unhappy within myself I will do whatever I have to do to get my happiness back even if it does call for drastic change!!!!!!!!

a dream is made into reality, by many more ideas, then the mind has at any one time, so fear of wrong, or love of right, will make one miss the turns to create anything.......
