The basics are as follows: A student asks his teacher, "Why is everything so difficult? Why can I not learn as quickly?"

The teacher shakes his head sadly and remarks, "That is why you fail. You lack the ability to see the positive side of things and focus on what's missing."

Every day is a new day with new chances to succeed. *hugs*
