Humans of Telfer - Aryana


Aryana

 "The most important lesson that I’ve learned in life is to listen to yourself and not be influenced by other people. You are the only one capable of changing and creating your destiny. If you ever come across a difficult situation, never give up.

A revered Persian poet once said, ‘This too shall pass,’ which is applicable not only to the good moments but also the bad ones. We need to value the moments that we have, live in the present, let go of the past and think of the future as a discovery. The difficult situations that we face will eventually pass, the cycle of life will continue, and everything will fall back into place. This is a quote that I love immensely because it shows our own humanity in a very fast-paced world. Always listen to yourself, love yourself and never let anything put you down."
