About This Quote
When people say that they would like to run from opposition, but it is the fire that tempers the better sword, or the ice that cools a fiery temper, they are speaking about learning from opposition. With opposition we learn how we fight and we learn what we can do under pressure. When we run from opposition our self-confidence and confidence in our abilities suffers. When we stand up and embrace our opponents and learn from them, we become stronger and more effective.
