Life is always full of obstacles that are put in front of each one of us. Some are good and some are terrible. But the measure of any man or woman is in how we overcome those obstacles and what they do to improve us as a person.…
Adversity can bring out the positive and negative sides in a person. In “The Proof of Worth,” Edgar Albert Guest demonstrates how challenges in life can help someone understand what he or she is capable of during a hardship. Similarly, “The Importance of Adversity in Growth and Development” written by Patrick Kohan exemplifies how children will never learn how to conquer an obstacle if they are always given assistance. Furthermore, Laura Hillenbrand’s novel, Unbroken, indicates that experiencing problems can affect the way a person’s body reacts and thinks about a difficult moment. Ultimately, the authors highlight that obstacles can be a complex or helpful task, as well as benefit people in the future when they need to know their true talents.…
Challenges can influence the way a person thinks and understands a complicated situation. For example, Kohan’s article states, when going through a hard time, “embracing adversity is almost always discovered in the aftermath” of a tough challenge that may expose hidden talents. Obstacles can show a person their achievement in…
“Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.” What the Roman poet Horace was saying was that when there is an obstacle in our way, our true colors will radiate. I could not agree more. When we as human beings feel passionate about achieving a goal, we may learn something new of ourselves, maybe a new trait that we did not know we possessed, when we reach new heights we did not know we could push ourselves towards. Challenges are similar to tests. Challenges are faced every day, but how we respond to them determines how strong we really are. Prime examples are superheroes and students that move dramatically.…
Overcoming Obstacles Makes Better Individuals “Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome” (Booker T. Washington). Obstacles are a required part of life if you wish to grow and develop. If you do not face challenges, you will not become a strong person. Individuals pushing to achieve the goals we set and overcoming the roadblocks ahead of us are what make us who we are. In the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton and in my own personal experience, people encounter obstacles, and eventually overcome them.…

Adversity helps to build strong people and individuals and it gives them strength after they overcome their obstacles. Obstacles that are difficult to get through may provide new opportunities in a person’s life, and even though it can be argued that adversity has more negative effects that positive, adversity also unites people. Adversity brings people together with a common goal to face hardships that will create stronger bonds between people who may come from many different walks of…
Obstacles and barriers are tools that mold and shape people in their everyday life. Some might cause someone to break out into a pandemonium, while others might be small causing short disarray. Like many other people, I have had my share of dilemmas. These dilemmas range between too big for me to handle to being small enough for me to forget about…
When these moments in life hit, people see them as barriers, unable to be broken down. However, there is a point when an individual demonstrates their true qualities or characteristics, which would not have come to light unless an adversity had risen. Adversities can allow individuals to view the world in a new perspective due in part to their hard work, though this is not always the case as the pressure may become to intense for some individuals to conquer.…
Anyone who has ever achieved anything has had to face many obstacles to accomplish their goals. But what defines their success is never how many obstacles stand in their way, but how many obstacles they overcome. Even though I might have to overcome many tough obstacles in order to become a police officer, I believe that it is important to protect the public and prevent crime.…
Overcoming obstacles is hard, and that causes us to give up easily. However, we might defeat obstacles if we keep persisting.
