If all our wishes, were granted that we would not have been working hard and discovering new things., , We agree with the argument that when we start counting our blessings in life everything seems to be in, the right perspective. We should be grateful to God for whatever he has given us. God gives everyone, as per his need and there is no use of asking him to give more.
