You could be on the moon
Or be somewhere on earth
Life’s problems always loom
That’s the living truth!
Face storms head-on
Wrestle life with all might
Learn living hands-on
Be strong: a man well tried
Tools are metal once tempered
Molded, hammered into shape
Put into fire to turn out gold
Sound character’s likewise made
Problems sort out a man
Welcome life’s challenges
Seasoned, you’d withstand
Life’s storms that’d ravage
Success will always court you
Be an extra-ordinary achiever
Tread a path few been through
Carve yourself to be a leader!

Just as metal is heated and moulded into shape in fire, the adversities of life help us gain greater strength and courage and evolve us into seasoned human beings who won't get flustered in the face of small problems! Life on Earth cannot be without problems... This realization is necessary to remain stoic even in crucial situations! Very inspiring!
