Frankl was a German Psychiatrist who spent five years in a Nazi Concentration Camp. He wrote that when he was in the camp he could tell that if certain people would ever be released, which ones would be okay and which would not.
He wrote: "Everything in life can be taken from you except one thing; your freedom to choose how you will respond to the situation. This is what determines the quality of the life that we've lived. Not whether we have been rich or poor, famous or unknown, healthy or suffering. What determines our quality of life is how we relate to these realities. What kind of meaning we assign them. What kind of attitude we cling to about them. What state of mind we allow them to trigger."
