The precise qualities of the head, heart and hand can be acquired only through struggle in loss and adversity. In times of difficulty, we gain wisdom more swiftly than in prosperous times. In adverse conditions, one can either flee or face up to the problems and deal with them and, the sagacity comes from the experience, observation, trial, error and the counseling of others.

Adversity and loss bring out all the qualities in a man; qualities like patience, self-reliance and humbleness, prove to be a much better school than success and prosperity. Success and ease make a man futile. Can a fighter enjoy the victory if the opponent is weak and broken? He falls prey to comfort and does not fight for real happiness. Loss and adversity not only make a man reach the pinnacles of his glory but also bring him closer to God. It is only in pain, suffering, and misfortune that one remembers God. Hard times call for composure and a pragmatic view about situations. People get succumbed to the agony and mental anguish felt during days of hardships.

Adversity and loss are the challenges that life brings to us, it is the response of human beings how they handle themselves in such situations, how they adapt from these opportunities and overcomes obstacles that hinder their development.
