Wisdom

Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are. Adversity may knock you down, but rock bottom is good solid ground, and a dead end street is just a place to turn around. The turning point in the process of growing up is when you discover the core of strength within you that survives all adversity. If you fall seven times, stand up eight.
