The thought behind the quote
There is no better University of higher learning than Adversity University. Whether you realize it or not, everyone is enrolled at AU. In fact, AU begins in your mother's womb. The first test you must pass, will not only be a traumatic experience, but will bring you the closest you will ever be to dying, without dying.
Read the full thought
The first class is called the matrix. From there, you travel down a hallway called the ""birth canal"" to your next level. Adversity will teach you many things, but the most important thing you will ever learn at AU, is to use your experiences in life to grow. There are many lessons you will learn at AU, but the following are 5 of the most important: 1. Adversity introduces you to yourself. 2. Adversity is like fire and removes the dross from our authentic self. 3. Adversity teaches you to fight for what is best. 4. Adversity forges your character because it helps you to discover what you are made of. 5. Adversity develops an attitude of gratitude.
