I took this photo when on safari throughout Kenya and Tanzania in January 2010. Our guide told us that to see a lion with a mane, so close to humans too, is very rare.

"The success of our lives and our future depends on our **//motivation//** and **//determination//** or //**self**-**confidence**//. Through

difficult experiences, life sometimes becomes more meaningful . If you look at people who, from the beginning of their lives, have had **EVERYTHING**, you may see that when small things happen they soon lose hope or grow irritated . Others have developed stronger mental attitudes as a result of their hardships. I think the person who has had //more// experience of hardships can stand more firmly in the face of problems than the person who has never experienced suffering . From this angle then, some suffering can be a good lesson for life ."
