"Every Rose has it's Thorn"

The meaning of the quote, "Every rose has it's thorn" is simple. 

Essentially, the idea is that there is no such thing as all good or all bad.

There are ups and downs to everything.

Benefits and consequences.

There is never something gained without something lost. 

Another quote with similar meaning would be:

"No pain, No gain." 

Funnily enough, sacrifice is arguably a more rewarding achievement after a certain income level.

After a certain level of income happiness tends to level out at which point sacrifice tends to become the main cause of happiness especially in the form of contribution or charity.

Celebrities

Celebrities

No Sympathy for Celebrities.

None.

Celebrities have all the fame and money they deserve. They earned it. They worked for it.

Have you ever tried to be famous? It's hard. You can't be famous even if you work your whole life for it sometimes. Plenty of people have spent their entire lives chasing fame and have never achieved it. 

Individuals who have become celebrities have done so through effort and luck. You have to make a large effort in the fame game to even scratch the glass ceiling of fame.

In other words, if you went your whole life never trying to be famous you would never be.



People that are famous based on luck and luck alone are astronomically rare.

Like Lotto winners.

As a growing man, Gabriel Garcia Marquez decided to pursue Law but eventually left in order to pursue Journalism. 

Gabriel Garcia Marquez was built notoriety for himself largely by building notoriety for the literary genre known as "magic realism" and oftentimes set his story in the fictional village of "Macondo" and Garcia Marquez often explored the theme of Solitude. 

Gabriel's use of magical elements in otherwise realistic situations built a genre that people could truly feel a strong yearning and desire for as escape is always a large desire for readers. Gabriel Garcia Marquez became a Nobel Prize Winner in 1972 for his work, "100 Years of Solitude."

Yesterday, at the age of 87, Gabriel passed away due to Pneumonia in Mexico City.

At this, the Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos mentioned: "One Hundred Years of Solitude and sadness for the death of the greatest Colombian of all time".
