"Life is 10 percent what happens to you, and 90 percent how you react to it.", I read that quote when I was 14. I remember reading it on Brainy Quote (yea right I used to spend my 'spare' time scrolling deep into that website), copy the text and paste it on the sticky notes. That is how I remember I was 14, I'm obsessed with sticky notes once I found it exist in Windows 8, and I was on 8th grade. So yea, I was 14.
That time I understand the meaning of that quote; we need to manage the way we react to things positively, instead of blaming things that already happened to us. Am I suddenly follow and apply that quote for the rest of my life? Of course not. I am not Millie Bobby Brown who already have super mature attitude in her 14. I mean have you seen her MTV Awards acceptance speech? I love you, Millie!
Anyway, I just googled it again, the quote was form Charles R. Swindoll, an author (found the full quote on the Good Read this time). He was talking about how our attitude affecting anything in our life, how what we really experience in our life is not what life has given to us but how we process to accept it. It's a simple basic communication picture; there is a stimulus, so there is a response. Sometimes we tend to forget that response is not made of a single formula. There are many factors that can affect the result of the stimulus given.
