A short YouTube monologue by Tim Jarvis (uploaded by James Laughlin) arguing that adversity can be reframed as a positive force: people who experienced hardship later regarded it as a gift that prompted priority re-evaluation and motivated them to bring their best efforts to overcome challenges.
I've had some the good fortune to meet people who've suffered, you know, adversity in their lives and, you know, at the time they saw it as adversity. Over time, they've come to realise it was actually a gift that really helped them to lift themselves and to reevaluate what was important in their lives. And they've seen that it's. It's made them bring their A game to their lives almost in overcoming this apparent problem, and they've actually ultimately regarded it as a positive thing. So I think it's about finding positives in university.
