Show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and I'll show you someone who has overcome adversity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm used to adversity and working really well in difficult situations. It was hard for me to accept the success.
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
All the adversity I've had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me... You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man; but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity.
I think really what I'm saying is that I thrive on adversity.
A lot of people think I had such a rosy career, but I wanted to identify that one of the things that helps you have a long career is learning how to deal with adversity, how to get past it. Once I learned how to get through that, others things didn't seem so hard.
I come from strong people who believe in the freedom of expression and, of course, a culture that believes in that. So the idea of overcoming adversity is something that is not unfamiliar.
The hardships that I encountered in the past will help me succeed in the future.
Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I'll show you somebody who has never achieved much.
I'm somebody who finds adversity is almost as good as encouragement. It's almost like, you close the door, and I'll find ten ways to kick it in and go around it or dig under it or something.
