Every human being has to deal with stress.
Life without stress is impossible. While being most known for it's negative affects, stress also has a positive side. Overcoming stress can provide personal rewards, such as feelings of competence, strength and even elation. There are obviously different levels of stress, from minor to moderate to severe, and different perceptions as to the level of stress based on a person's perspective and personality.
