Constant success shows us but one side of the world adversity brings out the reverse of the picture.

Constant success shows us but one side of the world adversit

Summary

This quote suggests that constant success only allows us to see and experience one perspective of the world. It implies that when everything is going well, we may become blind to the other side of life - the challenges, struggles, and setbacks. Adversity, on the other hand, exposes us to a different reality, enabling us to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities and difficulties that exist in the world. In essence, this quote highlights the importance of facing adversity as it broadens our worldview and allows us to develop resilience and empathy.
