I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose
weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort
myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on
stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of
satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an
easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her
activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, "Character cannot be developed in
ease. Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared,
ambition inspired and success achieved."
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From
time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. Some are of our
making but many are no fault of our own. While we cannot choose the adversity, we can
choose our attitude towards it.
Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying
accident.
