Life is what you make it.

The Simplest meaning of the book comes from the title that is "Life is what you make it ".Few days back I completed this book & the thing which I realized is

"Even A Smooth Functioning Life at present can face disasters in Future "

She then went into severe depression. She started feeling scared she could not read, write . She was frustrated. Her parents took her to Psychiatrist but that did not help .
