“The trials and pressures of life--and how we face them--often define us. Confronted by adversity, many people give up while others rise up. How do those who succeed do it? They persevere. They find the benefit to them personally that comes from any trial. And they recognize that the best thing about adversity is coming out on the other side of it.

Persevering through adversity makes one better.” PeopleGivingMayPersonsFacesProcessSidesTroubleSucceedGiving UpBenefitsFindingsOvercomingPressureAdversityTrialsBitterBest ThingsComing OutSweetnessPersevere Author:John C.
