If the path had been
Too easy,
If the journey had been
Too smooth,
If the people I met were
Too nice,
What would I have
To brag about?
What valor would I have
To be proud of?
I'm glad, till now-
Everything had been tough,
Demanding, till the last ounce-
Of sweat I shed.
Oh come on!
Get used to it,
I agree, I'm a show off..

Hard times are given so that you can brag about them in future. You are the sole owner of your bragging rights ;-)
