"A chain is no stonger than its weakest link, and life is after all a chain." William James

life can be considered a chain of circumstances some of which are of our own choosing and some are purely chance. those that we choose we would hope to have some degree of preparation to navigate successfully through to a desired conclusion. we may even be somewhat prepared for circumstances not of our choosing - there was a time when autos had no seat belts and airbags, and how many mothers told their children not to talk to strangers. then there are those circumstances we are subjected to for which we have absolutely no control and no preparation. in the chain of events that represents our lives, the weak link does not have to be mistake or failure, it could also be fate.

A chain is strong taken as a whole...but it has a weakpoint where the links are formed. Thus if you break the weakest link the mighty chain falls.
And life is also like a chain. If you get the weakest link then life also crumbles. So ultimately you should make sure that there are no weak links in your life...or basically you shouls not succumb to your problems.

Well the correct saying is "A chain is only as strong as it's weakest link"
If W.James added to that,Then like a chain,life is weaker the longer it is.

The weakest point in a chain is where it will break, therefor make sure all your links are equally strong. If life is a chain, then we all need to do our part to keep up our responsibilities.

The weakest part (link) of the chain is where it will break, and the weakest part of a person is also where they will break.

I always figured the chain was regarding personal traits. Of course the weakest link is the maximum strength of the chain. Beware your thoughts for they become actions. Beware your actions for they become habits. Beware your habits for they become your character and beware your character for that becomes your destiny! Proceed with caution and an abundance of love!

Be strong so your links stay together so your chain of events in life does not fall apart.

Life has strength and weakness - all at the same time.
Ergo, if we make our weakest stronger, then we ourselves become stronger in the chain of life.
A good lesson to remember - random acts of kindness and how far they can reach.
GOD bless us all, always.

“Every path has its puddle”
“Do not look where you fell but where you slipped”
“It is better to run back than run the wrong way.”
Life is full of obstacles and opportunities. In life we can not rest on only the good things, but we must also blend in the bad.

if people answer this for you it defeats the purpose of you thinking it through regardless of you wanting the easy answer
