Quote by Mehmet Murat Ildan

“Sometimes a thick fog suddenly comes and covers your life! First, you are surprised, then you are scared, then in all that uncertainty and helplessness you start to learn something and finally as the fog clears you turn back and look at the fog and wave goodbye, thanking it for teaching you something important about life - despite all the hardships you have endured!”
