My mum taught me (quite non verbally) when I was a kid that- Adversity is the greatest teacher, it will teach you most of what you need to learn in life. Whether its about how to derive that strength when you feel the weakest or about the rationale to decide right and wrong when wrong is the most desirable and convenient.
