<p>"do you think at ease does not challenge us and that we need adversity to help us discover who we are?"</p>
<p>Words cannot describe the extent to which people are unaware and oblivious to the notion that adversities trigger self-discovery and knowledge. One should not, however, fall prey to this misconception that people can achieve self-analysis without adversities and misfortunes in their lives and is thereby acceptable or excusable. All people should acknowledge this truth. Hence, it could be said with utmost confidence that ease does not challenge us, and adversities help us achieve unparalleled heights of self-understanding. Several social and historical examples verify this claim.</p>
<p>We need look no further than the play "Pygmalion" in which Bernard Shaw meticulously constructs an archetypal "gutter-snipe", Eliza: she lives on the streets of London, sells flower for a living, and speaks with an unrecognizably foul accent. Her life was plagued with adversities and the rigid class system shunned her to rot on her own. When professor Higgins offers Eliza free lessons to speak standard English, Eliza accepts. Little did she know that she would be demeaned and belittled. Despite the hardship, Eliza eventually elevated her status and became a garden-lady. This microcosm is significant and is germane to the topic because Eliza's *life was teemed with unfortunate events, which were derived from class segregation; Eliza defied the norms and strived for the pinnacle of success. This marked the blue prints of British class equality; in the 1930's, the low-class realized and unearthed self-understanding and discovered that they ought to be entitled to equal rights and opportunities.</p>
<p>Take as another example, Martin Luthar who was a Black activist during the 1960's racist America. In 1959, King initiated thousands of non violent protest that marked the letters of "equality" in the history of the United States by eradicating racial prejudice, animosity, and inequality. MLK's motivation was born out of discrimination and deprived opportunities given to the African American community. His life revolved around the trite maxim: "a journey of a thousand miles start with the first step", and so his never-say-die spirit to open doors to the Black community started with the inundation of the country with protests. As a result of this, not only did MLK and the Black community see and experience enfranchisement, but also self-discovery - that every man is Nobel regardless the color of their skin.</p>
<p>Finally, Steve Job's revealed in his biography that his hardship during his career, allowed him to discover his weakness and eventually unearthed his business personality.</p>
<p>An indisputable reality of life is that adversities, indeed, help us unearth our true selves. In final analysis, the hardships are the sparks that will ignite the engines of human development, understanding and ripen the knowledge of ourselves</p>
