From my experience people that think adversity is important are also self-sabotagers. They make their own lives harder, keep the adversity level high, and thus never have to achieve, and more importantly never wonder how their life would have turned out if theyd gotten their act together younger. Adversity is their excuse, it teaches nothing other than new and interesting ways to insist its not their fault.In my experience, there are few things that do more damage to a person's character than to have been given everything the ever wanted.

There’s a very large gap between not facing adversity and being given everything you want. That gap is where most people live, or at least try really hard to live in between break-ups, funerals and layoffs.
