Taking life as it comes...What does that mean?
.....means be strong enough to accept whatever come in your way irrespective of all the hard work that you put in…. or that you are just too lazy to do anything about anything and will take whatever comes in ur way of life.

Do we have any control over certain things in life?
My answer is NO.. so u have to take it as it comes..but if you apply that to everything in your life..u become lazy and give excuse for everything.. Ships are never meant to be on the harbour they are meant to sail. Thats what life is about you have go out of the safety zone and explore.

But needless to say there has been limits in our life & action, a small boat cannot with-stand a storm but a ship would. So it gets to the point where we need to know what we are capable? either a ship or boat etc. ?
