“The measure of a man is the way he bears up under misfortune.”
— Plutarch
Simplified Meaning:
How someone handles tough times shows their true character. Imagine someone loses their job unexpectedly. Instead of giving up, they stay positive, work hard to find new opportunities, and support their family. This positive attitude during difficulty reveals their strength and resilience. It's easy to be happy and kind when life is good, but real courage and integrity show up when things go wrong. By staying strong and hopeful during challenges, people can inspire others and grow stronger themselves.
