hardship, n.All

Hardship is a state that makes the world obscure.

Hardship is a boat protected with a heavy covering.

Hardship is the bad times that wake us to the good times we weren’t paying attention to.

Hardship is the native soil of manhood and self-reliance, and he that cannot abide the storm, without flinching or quailing strips himself in the sunshine, and lies down by the wayside, to be overlooked and forgotten.
