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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are.
I think really what I'm saying is that I thrive on adversity.
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.
Everyone goes through adversity in life, but what matters is how you learn from it.
Sometimes adversity is what you need to face in order to become successful.
You don't want people who have never had to deal with adversity - you want people who have been able to deal successfully with adversity. That's what adds to society. Those are going to be the hardest-working, best people.
By trying we can easily learn to endure adversity. Another man's, I mean.
You know, you have to have some inner philosophy to deal with adversity.
Someone said adversity builds character, but someone else said adversity reveals character. I'm pleasantly surprised with my resilience. I persevere, and not just blindly. I take the best, get rid of the rest, and move on, realizing that you can make a choice to take the good.
Adversity isn't an obstacle that we need to get around in order to resume living our life. It's part of our life.
