"Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something and that this thing must be attained"

Marie Curie is recommending that life is full of challenges and obstacles for everyone, however rather than quiting, it is important to possess determination and confidence. She motivates people to think in their capabilities and to work towards achieving their goals. She hints that every person has a special gift that must be determined and pursued.
