"L'adversité est l'état dans lequel l'homme se familiarise le plus facilement avec lui-même étant alors particulièrement libre de tout admirateur"
— John Wooden

Simplified Meaning:
When people face tough times, they learn the most about who they really are. For example, imagine a person loses their job. During this difficult period, they won't hear much praise or encouragement from others. They might feel alone, but this quiet time helps them think deeply about their strengths, weaknesses, and what they truly want in life. Without the distractions of applause and approval from others, they can understand their true character and make decisions that reflect their genuine self. This self-discovery in hard times can lead to personal growth and stronger resilience.
