"It may take a little practice, but it is possible to retain your joy even in the midst of life's inevitable hardships. And with more poise and calm, you will do a much better job at responding to the difficulty, whatever it may be. Character is built by adversity, but strong character is not the inevitable result of adversity. It all depends on how we choose to respond to the circumstances of life. Setbacks and struggles can shape us into something exceptional or something entirely unremarkable. It's how we respond to the difficulty and what we learn from it that upgrades our character."
