Adversity is inevitable, but it is because of challenges and hardship that progress our society. The Roman Poet Horace once believed, that when faced with adversity, our true talents and capabilities are revealed.

Horace’s statement that adversity manifests talent accurately justifies that in order to progress and reveal one’s true capacities, one should face adversity head on. Some may argue that in face of hardship, some situations are too adverse and difficult to overcome.
