Self Motivation
Life is short, and it is up to you to make it sweet
It was the coldest winter ever
Many animals died because of the cold
The porcupines, realizing the situation, decided to group together to keep warm
This way they covered & protected themselves; but the quills of each one wounded their closest companions
After a while, they decided to distance themselves one from the other and they began to die, alone & frozen
So they had to make a choice: either accept the quills of their companions or disappear from the Earth
Wisely, they decided to go back to being together
They learned to live with the little wounds caused by the close relationship with their companions in order to receive the heat that came from the others
This way they were able to survive
The best relationship is not the one that brings together perfect people, but when each individual learns to live with the imperfections of others & can admire the other person's good qualities
