the life and the ball

Life is like throwing a ball against the wall: If a blue ball is thrown, it will come back blue; If a green ball is played, it will come back green; If the ball is played weakly, it will come back weak; If the ball is played with force, it will come back with force. ___________, never ‘throw a ball in life’ in a way that you are not ready to receive. Life neither lends nor lends; he is not moved or pitying. All she does is reciprocate and transfer what we offer her.

Albert Einstein
