The courage to face bad news

Those of us that have had experience with adversity are generally endowed with more grit and more resilience as they've been forced with experiencing more than their share of bad news.

As a result, facing bad news is less of a problem for us, to the extent that we've learned that there's little we can do about them, but confront them, “suck-up” their bad taste down to their marrow, go down the bottom of the trough and survive it.

While this is patently unpleasant, it delivers some wonderful attributes, as it makes us stronger, bolder and, in most cases, ready to pounce and much more proactive.

Sure, it's never easy to make this kind of attitude second-nature, but by being used to confronting it and remembering to walk that painful talk, it provides the user with a superb advantage that leads to much greater resilience and a general higher rate of success.
