Guidance on Sentence Construction
Sir/ Madam,
I was watching a Spanish movie last evening (Nadie hablará de nosotros cuando hayamos muerto). I reckon that you too would perhaps have seen it. I wanted a clarification regarding a line from the essay that the heroine is shown as writing in the end, in her class. The essay is on Oscar Wilde’s famous quote which was shown in Spanish as “Existen dos tipos de tragedia. Una es no conseguir lo que quieres, la otra es conseguirlo”.
One of the lines in the essay manuscript was shown as :
“ A veces tratas de hacer cosas que piensas que van a traerte felicidad, pero cuando ocurren, no sabes bien si eso es felicidad o no.”
I was trying to figure out as to how I would pen down the same thought. Would the under mentioned construction be all right, given my limited knowledge of the nuances of Spanish expression?. Shall appreciate your guidance.
A veces, tendemos a poner en duda, la utilidad de nuestros deseos que fructifican en realidad
with sincere regards Ashok

A veces, tendemos a poner en duda, la utilidad de nuestros deseos que fructifican en realidad
Well, this is very elaborated and sounds slightly off.
Maybe:
A veces tendemos a poner en duda el resultado de los deseos que se hacen realidad.
