 Adversity creates strong men - and weak ones
This quote popped into my head the other day (a quick Google suggests I invented it, but I dunno).
When something terrible happens, some people develop new levels of resolve and respond heroically. But others turn within and reach new depths of fear and (self?) recrimination.
What is this quality that makes people react one way or the other to adversity, and can it be deliberatley fostered?
