      Hello! My name is Jillian and I am a senior at Penn State. The saying, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is an inspirational quote that I can relate to. This can relate to anything in your life. In my experience, this relates to school and other hobbies that I have been involved in. I am one to complain about homework, a test, or a project if I don't like or understand it. Is it going to kill me? No. Once I have completed the task I feel like I did something amazing, and I am a better person because of it. In the various hobbies that I participate in, this quote will always stand by the sports I have played. I played soccer my entire life, and when the weather was terrible, or my team was down, or I was having an 'off' game, I always knew it would be okay. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is something that will say, hey, you can do it. It's not the end of the world, keep going. You'll be stronger when you finish. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OT6z4wr-mJg/T6Q-H5u0hQI/AAAAAAAAE8I/sUzj2tO4UXI/s1600/Mount-Everest-Climb.jpg http://www.shape.com/blogs/working-it-out/monday-motivation-what-doesnt-kill-you-really-does-make-you-stronger The link above demonstrates a different view on the saying, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger". In this case, it is dealing with health and diet.

      Yes, so true indeed. It is my philosophy of life too. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. You must try everything whats make you happy and make you friends and family happy. And we have to remember: easy life don´t make you strong:)

    Hey! We have this same saying in Finnish languege too: "Mikä ei tapa, vahvistaa." :) It is a common statement in very similar situations you just described.

      Please look at the image at the top of the page and not the blog post posted by the blogger. The image is an example of the saying, "Life isn't fair get used to it".

      This image reminds me also of the saying "being a big fish in a little pond" or "being a small fish in a big pond" when referring to how we feel in relation to the people around us, whether we feel important or insignificant.  I remember experiencing these feelings especially in coming to college.  When I first got to Penn State I didn't know many people and I felt so insignificant and lost in a sea of faces when I first got here.  Three years later, I feel more like a big fish, when I can walk around and run into people that I know and feel like I have more purpose here.

      i really love the photo representation. It really sums up how you feel when something isn't going your way and you feel it isn't deserved.

    Hi, That photo is really pretty and interesting! I'm maybe little naïve when I think that you can choose the way people treat you. If you let them treat you badly, life usually won't be fair but if you change your attitude, and life is still not fair, then I let people say "that's not fair". You never have to get used to it. We have to make everything we can, so life is fair for us. And yes, there are people who are richer than you or prettier than you but it's you own attitude affects. Look that link, it will tell you how I think that beauty thing example: http://mariecoquette.tumblr.com/post/32878784785

    Hello! My name is Krista and I'm studying craft sciences and art pedagogy at University of Helsinki. This is my 2nd year. My mom teached me quite many sayings while I was a child and I've continued using them a lot. One idiom I remember quite well is "Hullu ei huomaa, viisas ei virka mitään" which could be translated to "A fool man won't notice and a wise man won't say anything". I see this in two different ways. First, it means to me that it isn't end of the world to fail sometimes - most people won't even notice your failure. And most of them who notice won't be too hard on you. On the other way I think this idiom can be a guideline how we should be treat each other. If you don't have anything nice to say, then sometimes it's better say nothing. To cut it short, my idiom is about being merciful to yourself and others :) http://heatherlydee.blogspot.fi/2011/09/commandment-8-what-would-i-do-if-i.html I like especially the second picture in this blog post. It's a good continuation for my saying.
