Adversity A Teacher Par Excellence

Hidden in the levers of Adversities are the navigational maps of success.

Whoever does not wish to be born in the lap of happiness, pleasure, wealth, luxary and comfort ? It is therefore but natural to blame adversities for the pain it leaves behind. But forgotten is the fact that success in the long run belongs to those who have battled adversities and have emerged therefrom as victors.

Adversity tests your commitment to purpose. Adversity tests your tenacity & resilience. Adversity tests your belief. Adversity prepares you to face sacrifices. Adversity teaches you to mobilise resources. Adversity teaches you to be frugal in the use of resources. Adversity makes you appreciate the challenge and prepares you to battle the ensuing stress.

Rightly said Seneca. Unfortunate is the man who has not tackled misfortunes for he has thus not learnt a hundred capabilities that prepares him for the future. Unseen future is not extention of the past. Ability to manage failures, losses, frustrations, collapse and defeats are critical to emerge from adverse situations. If you never learnt to cope with adversities, you missed your bus to learn survival skills of the future.

He who has never learnt to maneuver a spare should not imagine to be a battlefield hero in a war.
