Hardship draws on powers and energies idle or go unused.
Greatness is born in times of crisis and trouble. Although trouble is mostly an unwelcome visitor, its very presence can change your life for the better. Words that describe victory over difficulty are expressions of greatness, success and triumph. Without the experience of trouble, calamity, grief and adversity, you would not have courage, strength, joy and patience. The characteristics and traits we admire most are those which are the fruit of the roots of trouble.
