"Per ardua ad astra' stands for 'through hardships to the stars", said Mrs.Wilson during the class, a concept of "stars' is somehow synonymous to 'success', 'victory' or 'triumph'. Everything in life that obtained simply is not valued, lightweighted and changeable. And only regular work, dedication, persistent problem-solving- 'hardships' are able to become the basis for serious, long-term success in any sphere of life- 'to the stars".
Davis immediately sprang to my mind. Our relationships are like ferris wheels. One day we are the happiest couple ever and the other I get to know the things I less expected him to be involved in. Can I forgot the worst and remember the best to reach 'the stars'?
