“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. There is a sweetness to overcoming your troubles and finding something good in the process, however small it may be. Giving up when adversity threatens can make a person bitter. Persevering through adversity makes one better.” PeopleGivingMayPersonsFacesProcessSidesTroubleSucceedGiving UpBenefitsFindingsOvercomingPressureAdversityTrialsBitterBest ThingsComing OutSweetnessPersevere Author:John C.

“I guess I prefer to play live, but I don't want to have only live CDs. I like playing live because there are alot of things that can happen. I can interact with the audience and say some things to get me in trouble. On the other hand, the studio is nice because you can really take your time and make something that you know is the best thing that you can ever do. But nothing beats being up on stage in front of all that energy.” KnowsWantI CanPlayHandsHappensEnergyAudienceNiceTroubleStageFrontsBeatsStudiosBest ThingsCdsTake Your Time Author:Katy Perry
