Throughout this journey, we pass by periods of happiness and hope, and others of despair and depression. Whether we take quick steps or stumble, we eventually keep on moving. In this journey, we meet others who may help us in our travelling, and some who may deter us, and in all this, we have love as our supply in the way, until we reach the end of the journey.<\/span><\/h2>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: 'andale mono', times;\">In this booklet, we present the first part of this series of articles tackling \u201cthe journey of life\u201d, \u201cthe goal\u201d, \u201cthe stones of failure\u201d and many other topics.
