"It is worthy to praise Hashem for all the goodness he bestowed upon us. 

Even though 'our mouths are full of song as the sea,' we cannot suffice to praise Him, and to Him alone belongs praise. In any case, we must always look to thank the Creator. Especially when someone achieves success in a matter, immediately he should give thanks. And he should say praise to the blessed G-d, for His kindness has been so great..

And even if one has suffering, he should praise the Lord for being included in the category of 'Whom the Lord loves, He rebukes,' and not in the category of 'One who repays his enemies.' And let him not be disciplined with more severe and bitter suffering, for He is compassionate in judgment and exacts a person's duty for his benefit.

 And if the Lord has favored him with greater good than others, it is fitting for him to praise the Lord who favors his good, not because of merit, but only out of His mercy and compassion, for how many are better than him -yet lacking in good. And let him be greatly humbled in his heart, knowing that He gives him strength to do might, and everything is from His hand, and all the events are for Him." (Pele Yoetz
