Many of the greatest people in history have turned failure into success, they turned hardship into inspiration, and they turned loss into generosity. One example of this is Theodore Roosevelt, whom I wrote about here.
There is often a false notion that successful people got to where they are because they had it easy and everything was laid out for them. But as one studies history, as I often encourage young people to do, one finds that people’s lives are so much richer than that, and that many of the greatest figures in history had to overcome tremendous hardships.
