Adversity in life should make you better not bitter
Shakespeare has rightly said,"Sweet are the uses of adversity, which, like a toad, though ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in its head." So adversities are test of our character.
It has been said that those whom God chooses to be blessed, he first tests their worthiness by sending adversities to them. Jesus had to face so many adversities before he rose to heaven! Helen Keller had to face adversities on every step she put forward. She fought her darkness, hearing and speech disabilities and emerged as a better personality. Booker T Washington faced so many adversities and rose from being a slave to one of the most successful educationist in the world! Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther, Albert Einstein, all faced adversities and they never let them make them bitter. They made themselves better human beings and God blessed them with success in their fields. So we must sublimate our bitterness into betterment in the fire of adversities.
If there has been any great soul who has inspired millions of people, it has been Lincoln! And his own life was nothing but a series of incessant failures that he converted into stepping stones to his success. Born to a poor family, he saw many hardships through his life. For instance he had to provide for his own education; he had no money to buy books. So he borrowed them. Sometimes he had to go long distances on foot to get a book. And at night he used to do writing and arithmetic practice on the kitchen floor with burnt out coal. Ultimately he succeeded in becoming the President of America. But before this success, he suffered many failures. He kept on trying. He learnt the lessons he needed to from his failures. His life is the most inspiring life for all those who really want to be successful . And the secret is never ever to give up your aspirations. The failures are actually a test of man's worthiness of success that is waiting to come to him. Adversities really serve men better than the empty joys!
