Sweet are the uses of Adversity

Misfortunes, though unpleasant and unsavory, can sometimes be a blessing in disguise. When a calamity befalls a person the first reaction is one of dismay. But once the initial shock is got over, it brings out the best and the most sterling traits of human character. The after-effects of each tragedy are lessons in self-introspection and self-confidence. Challenges turn into chances and odds become opportunities when we face adversity with an open mind. In fact, adversity opens many new vistas and offers the whole world for exploration and exposition.
