Adversity reveals character

  • A real friend’s reaction to adversity would be way different from ‘party pals’. So, pay attention to those around you.

  • Do make sure you have what it takes to be the best in difficult times. Times like that can cause men and women to break, but some break records. Your misfortune doesn’t build character; it reveals it.

  • Always invest in yourself. Be selective with the people you hang out with, make peace with your problems, and never give up.
