Headcase: Livestrong and Prosper

This article focuses on the thought that what doesn't kill you will make you stronger. The example used is of Lance Armstrong, who after being diagnosed with cancer fought through it, becoming a stronger individual, and even went on to win the upcoming Tour de France. Due to his positive outlook towards the struggle, he became a better person and a harder worker than ever before.

The article also explains that sometimes challenges do not always cause this improvement. two-thirds of people in a study become more distressed after given a challenge, while the other third flourished and became harder workers, maintaining positive attitudes.

Do you believe that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, or is there a point where an adversity may do more harm than good?
