"Adversity causes some men to break--others to break records."
William A. Ward
This quote by William A. Ward means that sometimes difficult challenges can make you give up. But, sometimes it makes the person continue and succeed. Difficult challenges can make a person quit just because its to difficult to achieve. But, it can also make a person not quit and keep trying until they achieve. For example, if you want to learn to play an instrument but its to hard. Some people will give up because they cant do it, but others will practice until they are professionals at playing the instrument.

For example, if you didn't get straight a's last year, try and get it done this year. You will be able to succeed more when you do good in life. if you continue to outdo yourself you will succeed in things you never thought you would of succeeded. You inspire yourself to continue trying and not giving up. At the end, you can always accomplish something if you continue trying.
