Adversity is the springboard to great achievement To understand adversity, take two acorns from the same tree, as nearly alike as possible – and plant them in two separate locations. Plant one on a hill by itself and the other in a dense forest. The oak standing alone is exposed to every storm. Its roots grow deep in every direction, grasping every rock to support itself from the threatening elements. The acorn planted in the dense forest grows up a weak, willowy sapling. Since it was shielded by its neighboring oak trees, it feels no need to spread its roots far and wide for support. Dont be afraid of adversity. Welcome it! Adversity makes you stronger. It helps you grow. Adversity is a fact of life. It cant be controlled. Problems and people can’t stop you. The only thing that can stop you is YOU. Only you can control how you react to adversity. When faced with adversity, do you buckle beneath the weight of it all? Ask “Why me?” Dolly Parton said, “The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.” By Harvey Mackey
