If we go through world history of those who grew uncommon and extraordinary from that they were very common and simple and poor and in adverse born situations . the survey of this list concludes that those called great and good are more than 75 to 85 percent . wealthy son of wealthy father is more common than worthy son of worthy father. this very phrase says the story of the fact that it is rather , very rare to be worthy because of one's parentage . i want to say that adversity is more boon to any one's achievement and less the cause of difficulties in life .
Francis Bacon writes , - " Prosperity does best discover vice , but adversity does best discover virtue . "
Therefore we should always get ourselves ready to face and feel adversity as sweet in the end of our efforts . there are there means and ways to face these difficulties in life . 1 - we can encounter them by being indifferent to them . one example - a person wrote me three four letters , i did not reply . it chanced so that we came to see each other and he said , " you did not reply my letters ? and i told him that this was my reply .(the better reply that could be ) . 2 - we can face the adverse conditions by changing our view of life , say the philosophy of life . this can be easily done by thoughtful actions and regular self awareness . you can change the life by changing the company you have , the place , the job , any thing that suits you and that is possible . 3 - we can take the help of Religion , take the refuse of God and those deserving your help .
If you are sent to deep waters by circumstances , should you not think that you need to learn swim . if you get ill , take care of your health (as perhaps you have been really careless about ). . See !what Shakespeare says of adversity , " Sweet are the uses of adversity ; Which like the toad , ugly and venomous ; Wears yet a prosperous jewel in his head . "
He knows not his own strength that has not seen and met adversity --- Ben Jonson .
all that comes to us as adversity and creates fear if not fatal in the end leaves us stronger.
