Among the Thuril we have a saying:
"Life is problems. Living is solving problems."
~Raymond E Feist "Silverthorn"
I've been re-reading the Riftwar and Empire series, with great enthusiasm, and this phrase just leapt out at me for stating the obvious in such a simple manner. Perhaps it is from mere Fantasy writings, but it seems to me that it holds true for real life as much as for fantasy life.

Life is problems. Living is solving problem...
You are so right, it's true in real life. I was working at my day care and a child was crying because his teacher left. The room was a general mess(as kids will make a room!) and then a little boy 'didn't quite make it to the bathroom' and I needed his change of clohes...in another room. But...
Another teacher watched my room, I got the change of clothes. Crying sad boy calmed himself down and then, we cleaned the room. Life: problems... I said to the teacher one problem at a time solved here!
