 individual drastically, it still depends on a person how to respond to life challenges and blessings. Life is full of uncontrolled events, which can lead a human to prosperity or destroy everything one has in a day. Undoubtedly, it is nearly impossible to stay optimistic when you lose people you love or face the severe disease. It is proven by a statistical fact that suicide rates rise during the wars, pandemics and economic crisis.
However
, I believe a human being has a choice to give up or keep fighting when you face troubles because different people react differently to similar situations. Others say that only a person responsible for one's own happiness. People can't determine their future, but they can decide how to perceive it.
For example
, when my father was told by doctors that he has only a few months left, everybody expected him to be depressed.
Nonetheless
, he decided to spend the rest of his life enjoying things he loved and working on his book.
That is
 why I think that everybody can be happy no matter how troublesome one's story is. In conclusion,
although
 circumstances affect the way we feel to a great extent,
this
 essay finds that it depends only on a person's actions on how to take adversities and gifts of destiny.
