“You’ll never find a better sparring partner than adversity” (Meir, Golda). Adversity is the problems or troubles that make your life imperfect and burdensome; fortunately, adversity is not invincible and can be overcome with hope (The New Survivors), power (Life Isn’t Fair – Deal with It), and acceptance (For Many Returning Vets, ‘Moral Injury’ Just as Difficult) “The New Survivors” by Pamela Weintraub describes hope and how it is essential in overcoming adversity. For example, towards the end of the article it states, “Hopeful patients managed their illness themselves instead of letting outsiders pull the strings” (Weintraub 3).

In particular, the author, Mike Myatt, set forth on paragraph 4 declaring, “…people born into war-torn impoverished backgrounds, who could have complained about life being unfair, but who instead chose a different path – they chose to overcome the odds and to leave the world better than they found it” (Myatt 1). The author is revealing that your past should not inflict your decisions on the better. The domination you can have over your adversity can allow you to embrace it and get over it. Notably, Mike Myatt as well went over 11 rules for life, one being, “Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time” (Myatt 3). Being established here is the fact that being your own person to solve your own complications could be the only way it can go due to the fact every other person also has their own glitches in life. Having your own decisions and responsibility to go over your adversity aids you in continuing life. Another key point would be in paragraph 19, “The greatest adversity life can throw at you simply affords you an opportunity to make changes, improve, and get better” (Myatt 3).

To start off, on paragraph 12 when a former marine captain name Timothy Kudo described his situation in Afghanistan, it can also relate to other diverse situations, “And so you can’t dwell on these issues” (Martin 2). To explain, adversity surrounding you could have an option to not be able to be thought about or fixed in the beginning but more into time can be accepted. Timothy Kudo, at the time, felt guilty of his mistake but due to the circumstances he was in, he was not able to rest and contemplate of it. Likewise, in paragraph 22, Timothy Kudo verbalizes, “And so you just keep pushing, and you try and make it the best for the rest of your life” (Martin 3). Illustrated in the quote is the fact that a person will occasionally be required to simply accept their adversity. It may not seem reasonable but keep in mind it can be more difficult to continue walking down your path if you constantly think of your adversity and feel pain. In addition, the same former marine captain has also conveyed other useful information in his interview, “… you’re more than your worst action” (Martin 3). All in all, there are no “I can’t” when attempting to accept what has happened or what you have done. There are always big possibilities to acknowledging the mistakes in your life but afterwards a burden can be lifted off of your
