The couple looked at me with surprise and said, 'You think you have to endure something to gain freedom. But if you can enjoy your work, your life will be 100% happy time.' The scales fell from my eyes. 'I don't need a life that cares about the evaluation of others. I always want to live freely and be myself.' Since I started thinking that way, I can't stop enjoying my life. You must never hand over the oars of your life to anyone else. Your unique life is in your own hands."
