"I see my friends, my family, my cousins work all day long for very little money, and if I have this problem of not being able to wall on the streets, it's not a big deal"
- Olivier Martinez
About this Quote
This quote by Olivier Martinez speaks with the idea of perspective and appreciation. He is acknowledging that he has a problem, but it is not a huge offer in contrast to the struggles of his good friends, family, and cousins. He is acknowledging that they strive all the time for very little cash, and his problem of not having the ability to stroll on the streets is irrelevant in comparison. This quote is a suggestion to be grateful for what we have and to not take anything for granted. It is also a reminder to put our problems into viewpoint and to acknowledge that there are people out there who have it much even worse than we do. We should be appreciative for the blessings we have and strive to help those who are less fortunate.
"My sorrow, when she's here with me, thinks these dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be; she loves the bare, the withered tree; she walks the sodden pasture lane"
