“Okay you people out there, you’ve got adversity, there are ways to deal with it.” Psychiatrist Dr Norman Rosenthal shares life lessons from his book – The Gift of Adversity. “I’m always listening to people’s stories and thinking, well, what can we learn from this, how can I use this information going forward. ” (Looking at my own stories)…..” a very surprising fact jumped out – I learned the most when things went wrong….. I think it’s those hills and those challenges that make us more resilient and more roadworthy.

“An important part is that life consists of big adversites and little adversities, and they are both important.”
