The And Its Effect On Society

Napoleon Hill once stated, “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” From George Washington to Nelson Mandela, greatness is cultivated from adversity during turbulent times. Horace’s assertion is correct in view of the fact that adversity causes people to act, reveals vulnerabilities, and forces people to adapt.

For the sun is persistent with dignity, so that is how I will conquer. Persistence is never giving up, the sense that when darkness pushes in and knocks compassion down, compassion will rise. I had a stepmother once who told me I would be nothing. She shattered my heart with her piercing words, words of affliction and hatred. I was belittled, broken. But as the sun did so multiple times, I rose as well. Pushing past the hurt and the aggression, I chose to persist in being the best person I could be. I persisted not only on this, but with the idea that when one is faced with an obstacle, a challenge; Never give up. For even on the foggy days, suppressed with gloom and a sense of despair, the sun finds a way to glint past it all with such optimism. As the sun burns with such persistence and optimism, so shall

Hardships have the power to make a break a person, as Roman poet, Horace, once said, “Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant”. Everyone has or will have to face adversity at some point in their lives, it is a universal truth. Although misfortunes usually have a negative connotation, depending on the struggle and how one deals with it, it is likely the person will come out of misfortune better prepared for the world. Contrastly, if a person never experienced any hardships, they would lack a sophisticated understanding of the world and lack the ability to handle difficult situations. Adversity gives people strength they can not obtain with success.

Firstly, suffering can make you stronger. When you suffer, you move through things that are tough. Anne Frank was a young girl that went through the Holocaust. She powered through it and was strong the entire time up until her death. Suffering is able to give you strength because you made it through. Powering through things shows a sign of strength. If you never have to suffer, you will not have to prove your strength and you cannot become a better person. Anne Frank wouldn’t of been able to share her story of strength if she hadn’t

Hope is anything that possesses one to keep going; belief is what one uses to keeps fighting until the end; endurance is whatever enables one to continue without stopping; then resistance is our defense in order to withstand any obstacles one may possibly encounter. Through countless have experienced pain from within, more than physical. It is in this experience that motivates me to want on the road to become a Peer ince I identify exactly how bad it can become. In addition to that i have learned to look at both sides of any situation also where the other party is coming from, then place myself in their shoes. Even if I don’t agree with it, I can comprehend where they are coming from as well as understanding that everyone’s minds work differentlyue to past experience. In addition to there always being little positive in both sides or situation since no matter how bad of a day or life one may have had there is always good there. On the bad days it may be harder to discover nonetheless it’s there just concealed, one just has to look really hard and it can be found. Also I would appreciate nothing more than to be able to help offer assisting in finding the positive moments.. However in all of this we must most importantly know our limit’s and not to over extend them, because we all have them personal plus towards

“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.

It is human nature to take the easy way when given a choice between an easy option and a difficult one. However, the easy way is not always the best way to grow and progress. Growth occurs when adversity is present, not when there is an absence of adversity and everything is easy. The Roman poet Horace observed, "Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant." Horace's contention examines the role that adversity plays in the development of one’s character and understanding difficulty and suffering. It is in times of trouble, when adversities thrusts itself upon one that true character is make known. I am an optimist and believe that people are fundamentally good

The quote “ although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.” to me means that just because you are faced with bad times or problems does not mean you should surrender to them but can overcome them. I disagree with this quote because several literature’s have proven this to not always be true time and time again. There are two literature’s that show this well. One is Lord of the Flies and the other is Night.

As I read Rising Strong by Brene Brown it really hit home with me. In her book she talks about something most people do not like to deal with, which is shame and being vulnerable. We all feel shame no matter who we are. Some people take it better than others do. Some people take their shame and burry it deep down inside them and others takes their shame and makes great success stories out of it. Brene Brown talks about how much she struggled with being vulnerable and how she dealt with it. She starts off her book with a long presentation of her book and how we can approach shame. She enlightens us that Rising Strong is regarding getting to the heart of the most excruciating and uncomfortable minutes we 've ever experienced, getting genuine about the path in which those moments have made us feel and being sufficiently striking to consider ourselves responsible to get up and develop from the past as we move into what more there is to come. She likewise focuses on that yes, most definitely, disappointment is excruciating, exceptionally difficult. Tragically be that as it may, the stories of battle to achievement that we 're so regularly told do more than see their way through the pain and make their way to be success stories. Brown states that all we need are, “a critical mass of bad asses who are willing to dare, fall, feel their way through tough emotion, and rise again” (Brown, 2015, p. 30.)

Conversely, someone who gives no power to negative events, but instead makes every effort to see the lesson in them, no matter how hard that may be sometimes, will keep their focus on what’s important to them and will realise a level of personal growth incomparable to those who choose to adopt the ‘victim’ mentality. Those who keep their focus on the things that empower them and add value to their lives and the lives of others, whilst being aware of and learning the lessons from the challenges they face along the way, are the ones who have the most resources available to them because they make a conscious effort to exist in a resourceful

Through life if there is one thing that everyone sees, it’s suffering. We all have seen it, if you haven’t you will in time. Even the short stories that we have read this year we have also seen it in them. It’s hard to see people go through that suffering, but do people gain any wisdom from that suffering. Through the short stories that we have read this year, we have seen on many occasions that it did not. One of those times is in the short story ‘The Discus Thrower’ we see that the man is in much pain, and clearly is suffering and yet he is mean to the nurse and makes them do things that they shouldn’t have to do. Another story that had suffering was ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’ we see her

Throughout the years, people who have encountered trauma, diversity, and anguish, to the extent of suffering, have been advised by the wise words of German philosopher, Friedrich Nietzsche. Nietzsche insisted “That which does not kill us, makes us stronger.”; however, does suffering actually yield positive outcomes? In Dr. Steve Taylor’s article, “Can Suffering Make Us Stronger?”, he advocates the findings of psychologists Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun. Tedeschi and Calhoun conducted their research on people who had undergone tragic events such as illnesses, combat, and fires and concluded that people can show positive resilience in the face of crisis; thus coining the idea of post-traumatic growth. Post-traumatic growth indicates a positive psychological change as a result of adversity. Although suffering is typically viewed as a negative, withstanding traumatic experiences can reap deeper relationships, personal strengths, and newfound spirituality.

Suffering is an inescapable part of life. Whether it involves the minor bumps and bruises of daily living or major traumas such as terminal illness, death, or the breaking of a family, suffering touches all of our lives at one point or another. Helen Keller once said, "The world is full of suffering, but it is also full of people overcoming it". Though Helen Keller was not a philosopher, in this quote she tells us why the topic of suffering is extremely important in life. The fact that so many people face suffering everyday and question it's existence in their lives, is the reason that so many strive to make the best out of the times when they

Adversity's are ultimately inevitable in life. When these problems arise, individuals are generally stupefied at the response to such difficult situations. The adversity becomes a wall that is unable to be broken down, as usually there ability to respond has been dormant during prosperous circumstances. However, there is a point in an individual where their instincts reveal the truth, "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger."

Zakaria argues that societies are going through democratization where closed systems are becoming more open. Therefore, now social change is originating from the masses unlike in the past. Today democracy is not just a form of government it is a way of life. For example, a singer that is more popular is also more successful. Large groups of people are what create change. Even capitalism is becoming more democratic.
