I love this poem by Dr Seuss:
-----
Oh the Places You’ll go!
By Dr. Seuss
“You’ll be on your way up! You’ll be seeing great sights!
You’ll join the high fliers who soar to high heights.
You won’t lag behind, because you’ll have the speed.
You’ll pass the whole gang and you’ll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you’ll be the best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don’t. Because sometimes you won’t.
I’m sorry to say but, sadly, it’s true
That bang-ups and hang-ups can happen to you.”

How good is that!
What comes out of that? A great number of things. But two in particular - one about others and one about yourself:
You can easily determine the caliber of people by the amount of opposition it takes to discourage them.
And
Every problem introduces a person to himself. I get introduced to myself very often. It is not always a pleasant encounter!
From Hyderabad, where, even in winter, it is still summer.
