Exceptionalism begins with adversity

A few nights ago I was watching the interview of a French popular singer that was asked, among other things, to reminisce about some of the adversity that plagued him during his youth. 

That’s when he said that he always found adversity to be a catalyst for achievement and that without it, nothing great could be achieved. 

His thoughts brought me back to my own young years and made me realized that by not being able to give me everything I needed, my parents instilled in me these many grains of sand that, like for the oyster, let a host of pearls blossom. 

Adversity is the oxygen of high achievement and we all should be delighted when we see it around!
