Illustration: Adversity and Learning to Learn from It
According to a "Ripley's Believe It or Not" column, if a mosquito gets hit by a raindrop, it is the equivalent to a human being getting hit by an SUV. The mosquitoes often survive, however, by riding the raindrop down for a while. Could we humans learn from a mosquito? Could we learn to transform our adversities? I have seen people ride the raindrops, and my guess is you have, too.
