since it is the best teacher one can come across? I strongly believe that with each adversity a person becomes strong ,learned and resolved.Adversity is the strong wind against the kite of our efforts always fly beautifully soaring towards the heavens.

Adversities are almost always hard to embrace but whether we like it or not they are bound to come because as God himself said "In this life there will be tribulations." As for me even if I by myself alone could not really stand adversities, I am happy I have Jesus my Lord who never leaves me nor forsake me. He is always by my side to see me through. He is my only Savior through adversities and He always remind me that after every storm there will always be sunshine. My God is faithful and I am happy that despite the adversities, He never leave me alone but has always been my true friend and companion in in every moment of my life. I am weak but my God is strong and I thank Him for being my strength all time. I thank Him for in the midst of fear He is always my comfort. I thank the Lord for He has always been faithful and true to His promises. Without God I would not be able to weather all adversities in life. Praise and honor be unto Him! Isaiah 41:10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

I think I look as adversity as a learning too also. Mistakes or hardships are what brings out the inner strength in ourselves. Sometimes we don't even know what we are made up until we have to struggle through something. Any hardship we have is a wonderful teacher; however their are those that aren't the best of students. To repeat over and over again the same mistakes means we're not learning.

You are all right guys, and i think we are all positive thinker here, ha ha so maybe we have to teach as many people as we can to think like the way we think.. I believe that adversity is just a temporary, they are just like test papers, a gauging meter used to check of how much we learn in life. In my early years, i learn how to spell A.D.V.E.R.S.I.T.Y in a positive way, i spell it O.P.P.O.R.T.U.N.I.T.Y
