"My dear children, today I want to share a real story from my life with you. It happened during the time when the whole world was going through the COVID lockdown. Everyone was staying inside their homes, the streets were quiet, and there was a lot of uncertainty everywhere.
During that time, something happened that really shook me.
Because of the lockdown, the stock market fell very sharply. One day when I checked my investments, I realized that the value of my portfolio had dropped by almost 60 percent. It was a huge shock. For a few days I felt very worried and uneasy. Many questions kept coming to my mind — what will happen now? What should I do next?
But after a few days, I decided to calm myself down. I realized that worrying would not change anything. So I sat quietly and thought about the worst possible situation. When we accept the worst case in our mind, the fear slowly becomes smaller.
I also spoke openly with my family about the situation. Talking with them helped me see things more clearly. Around that time, a simple thought came to my mind — “Que Sera Sera… whatever will be, will be.”
This does not mean we stop trying. It simply means that we should do our best, but we should not let fear of the result break us.
So I stayed patient and allowed time to do its work. Slowly, the market began to recover and things started improving again. That experience taught me a very important lesson.
My dear children, life will always have ups and downs. Sometimes things will go the way we want, and sometimes they may go completely the other way. But our real strength is shown in how we handle the difficult times.
So I want you to always remember this — when life becomes difficult, do not panic. Stand strong and keep moving forward.
Because in the end, patience and resilience are what help us get through the toughest moments in life."
