A lot of us face difficult situations. And it's tough to maintain a positive attitude. But, have you considered what some other people face?
What would you do if you were facing a >70% unemployment rate in your town?
What would you do if you were working a job that hadn't paid you in >6 months?
What would you do if you had electricity for only 2 hours per day?

Enjoy!
