TRIAL BY FIRE

Life gives us all difficult moments, tests to overcome as obstacles on the way to an objective destination. These tests, if this is how they are perceived, are the Trial by Fire. In reality it is a permanent trial by fire that lasts from the first day to the last of our existence. That is why there is no need to fight against life, because it is as exhausting as swimming against the current. In order to know how to live, we must assume all possibilities as surmountable trials by fire, and not as impossible missions and simply give up. It is very easy to give up in the face of adversity, especially when you live in an environment where true excellence is unknown and all mediocrity is accepted with honor. Being excellent is not easy, being the best is not a myth either, because in reality the only adversary to fight is nothing more than oneself. The others are only observers, and if we act well with them it is easy to expect that they will also do even better things with us, but reality is relative, and that is why these lines and this book is dedicated to those people who, even in the worst difficulties, have always been known and have come out winners. This book is for you, who read and write these lines. Thank you for reading these lines. Javier Clemente Engonga, 17.07.2021
