Historic First: Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s full opening statement for Supreme Court confirmation

Every season has a purpose. Our happiness and success in all the parts of our life is our personal responsibility

Like the tree, we experience different seasons of life and we are greatly affected by them.

We should not judge our life based on only the current season in our life. Every season has a purpose.

No matter whatever the current season is, it will change again.

Our happiness and success in all the parts of our life is our personal responsibility. We cannot blame the circumstances or the other people for our failures.

• We cannot change the seasons, but we can change ourselves.
• Seasons are not in our control, but our actions are in our control.
• Proper action in each season is necessary for a joyful and remarkable life.
