Adversity Cause Men To Break

Adversity is something we will all face. It’ll affect everyone ranging, from myself to characters in a book. Even though going through something so challenging, so painful, and so life changing can be hard, how you chose to handle it affects whether or not you overcome it. Adversity can either break a person or make them stronger; it’s up to their will to fight.

Adversity can come in many different forms, whether it’s losing your pencil to losing a limb. Adversity is the difficulties or misfortunes a person may experience in their lifetime. You always see these stories of people overcoming a traumatic experience in their life and turning it into an opportunity for something great. How do individuals overcome adversity? Based on the four individuals this essay will mention, Maya Angelou, Amy Purdy, Stuart Scott, and Emma Carey, there are three main ways people overcome adversity.

Adversity has a way of bringing up challenges unexpectedly, most people shrink away from it and get consumed, but when they push through it people come out stronger than they were before.

Overall, adversity is not always something to be avoided. Once someone is affected by adversity in their life, they must keep going and work through it opposed to allowing it to block them permanently. While enduring a difficult time, people are most vulnerable and receptive, making it imperative to properly handle these misfortunes that shape

Everyone has experienced adversity at one point in their life, whether it be a final exam or staying strong while you're going through a rough time. As for many, they assume that running from their problems is the easy way out when in fact running from your problems may seem easy at the time, but is a race that can never be won. Instead, we need to face our problems straight on, because the feeling of conquering a challenge gives us an unexplainable feeling of success. Through the character Mrs. Taylor, Author Hugh Garner depicts how facing hardships head on, leads to the feeling of accomplishment in his story, “A Trip For Mrs. Taylor”. Based on the story and a personal example it's evident that when an individual faces adversity, they strive to overcome challenges which leads to the rush of success.

Adversity is when someone faces a difficult event or misfortune. This can affect people in many different ways. Some people shut down and give up but others grow and become stronger when facing adversity. In the short stories called “The Sniper” by Liam O’Flaherty and “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell the characters face different kinds of adversity and find a way to overcome it. In “The Sniper” the character faces adversity because he is in a war and kills many other human beings and he ended up killing his own brother. This is a major misfortune for the main character because he lost someone he card about and it was his own fault. But, he did not give up on his own life after this event, instead, he decided to never pick up a weapon and point it at any human being again. In “The Most Dangerous Game” the main character named Rainsford faces adversity because in the story, a man named Zarnoff, who hunts people for living, is now hunting Rainsford. So, Rainsford has to overcome his fears and use his knowledge to defeat Zarnoff. So, a person needs to be very ambitious and hardworking to overcome adversity.

First,in ways, people overcome obstacles is keeping a positive attitude since when you have a positive attitude you are harder to discourage.An example of positive attitude while facing adversity would be in the text “A work in progress” where Aimee Mullin faces her adversity with humor like when she broke her wooden leg and while all the other people in that room were freaking out all she could think about was that her parents were going to kill her.I chose this example because out of all the stories we read in class about facing adversity Aimee Mullin struck me as the most positive about her obstacle.It’s important because it shows my point that with a positive attitude you don’t get discouraged as easily and like Aimee Mullin you can achieve whatever you wish no matter your adversity.Another example from “A work in progress” that shows positive attitude would be when Aimee Mullin got her new legs and was stating all the good qualities about her legs instead of being like oh I don’t this about them or

Quite often you hear that we do not grow without failure; that failure is what teaches us a new skill and how to then succeed. I was not familiar with the quote, “adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant,” by Horace, however I think this quote is true. To me, this means that when someone has some kind of disadvantage, that person can use the challenge to his advantage through self-reflection, determination, and hope. Every person faces an obstacle, usually many and of various degrees of challenge, and although you cannot control the situation, you can control your reaction. Those of us that learn from adversity take our time to figure out how to approach the problem in a new manner. We recognize that one barrier is not a reason to abandon our course. We think outside the box for how to overcome the challenge. We learn from the first failure and we regroup for the next approach. Failure teaches you how to define yourself rather than how others define you. All four of the

Human beings emotionally thrive on the will to survive, yet how they react to adversity will determine their length of drive they have within. Everybody will eventually face a situation where their mentality will be tested, no matter how happy their life had been. Even in fictional stories, authors must write out their characters facing a major conflict or else there would be no character build, a necessary component of a fantastic novel. Roman poet Horace quoted how the best traits of a person will lay dormant unless they are faced in a miserable situation. However, the results after facing an adversity are debatable. Adversity comes in multiple sized tests that shows how you react by what you experience personally and the results can be either negative or positive on the person’s behalf. Although people facing adversity are expected to present their best traits by Horace beliefs, the background of each individual is what truly determines their ability to grow or falter in undesirable situations.

Of course, adversity is ultimately inevitable in life. When a problem arises, individuals are generally astonished at the response to the complexity of the situation. This makes adversity becomes a wall that is unable to be broken down. However, there is a point in an individual where their instincts can reveal the truth, “it’s part of life to have obstacles, it’s about overcoming obstacles, that’s the key to happiness.” Qualities and characteristics of individuals are revealed during the hard times. These talents that are within us, that are usually locked up to give the ability for an individual to unlock the adversity that it created. In this sense, an individual true color and nature can be revealed leading to a new understanding of the capability to overcome adversities.

“There is no better than adversity. Every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve your performance the next time,” Malcolm X, and activist overcame adversity by learning from his defeat. Adversity affects our world today too. With our harsh rules and drive to be better, one must strive to succeed and overcome the hardships. While there are many qualities needed to overcome adversity, having faith, keeping composure, and receiving support are vital in order to overcome adversity.

Adversity can be seen in many different ways. Some people look at adversity as a learning experience, while others view adversity as a situation marked with misfortune. When a person is faced with adversity, rather than viewing it as something to hate, they should see it as a opportunity to grow. In the stories by Doris Lessing, W.D Wetherell and Alice Walker, they all show different types of challenges each character had to over come and their journey to do so. These stories all shared similar outcomes, they demonstrate how each character used an obstacle they were faced with, and turned it into a beneficial experience and how it shaped them into the person they are today.

Helen Keller once said, “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also about overcoming it.” Helen Keller faced a lot of adversity and obstacles in her life. But she got through it. Everyone faces obstacles in their lives, some more than others, but no ones life is just a sunny sea. I will be telling of four stories that are full of amazing people, who, against all odds powered through obstacles and kept going with their lives and competing their dreams against all odds.

Adversity is defined as the struggles and hardships one goes through in their life. Adversity has the ability to change oneself in a way that is completely unexpected. It is only through adversity that one can see what kind of person they are, and how they have grown. Determination and resiliency are direct results of adversity and these are forces that dictate ones entire self. In Steven Spielberg’s “Catch Me If You Can” Frank Abagnale Jr shows how adversity can push one to become deeply determined to accomplish one’s goals.

“Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean? This might only be ten words smashed together between two quotation marks, but it has so much meaning. It deals with the adversity of human beings. There is a noticeable difference between all three adversity examples; I plan to give a memory from my past regarding being “a carrot”, “an egg”, and a “coffee bean”.
