Franklin Delano Roosevelt would later recall how his 1921 bout with polio and its crippling effects taught him to be a fighter: “Once I spent two years lying in bed, trying to move my big toe. That was the hardest job I ever had to do. After that, anything seems easy.”
How can overcoming obstacles help make a person stronger? What difficulties have you or someone you know had to face in life? How has dealing with them made you or that person stronger?
Overcoming obstacles make us stronger by us being able to achieve a certain goal and possibly learn something that will guide us. Obstacles i faced in life every time i take an important test. Either i pass or not i learn from the failure or success.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you jackie, we learn from our mistakes.
Deletei agree...practice gets you better then what you were
DeleteJamal Mohammad 812
I agreed with you about the part where you learn from failure or success. Every mistakes you make, you'll learn from it. So it depends on you to see what kind of mistake you make and if you would admit it and learn from it.
DeleteOvercoming a problem can help make a person stronger by getting over their with it so they know they can do it with any other problem that comes in their way.I had a friend who had to face a difficulty of getting hurt.Dealing with them made them stronger by facing it and fight back.
ReplyDeletei agree because you failed once but you keep trying.

I agree fighting back with whats blocking you make you stronger because you dont just give up you are determined to get pass that obstacle
DeleteA person who over comes an obstacles is a strong person because now they know how it feels and be prepared and know how to deal with it.Its a life lesson in teaching them and showing that the problem there in right know is not that bad from the one they were before.
ReplyDelete~Natali812
true it shows that they can get through whatever situation strong willed
DeleteFDR mean that when you do the hardest thing first anytime that remains will be easy so when you finish the hard work the rest will be a piece of cake where you will be eager to finish the work. For example, once in the summer I was given a few packages of homework and I do not know where to start from. So then I decide to do the hardest part of the homework first. After that I got the easier part remain so I ended up achieving my goal faster.
ReplyDeleteI agree because when you conquer an obstacle blocking you then you just taken care of your fear (what you doubt or think you cant accomplish).
Deletei agree with you because a lot of things such as work will get harder to easier -vanessav 812
Deletei agree with you because overcoming obscules allow more opportunites
Deleteit makes people stronger because they are able to see that there are worse things/situations that you could be a part of this makes it so that they keep on going with out feeling pitty for them selves and that is what FDR is trying to say he learned it could always be worse!!!!
ReplyDeleteOvercoming obstacles can help someone b stronger because it can be preparation. They can have practice on what their gonna go through. Dealing with difficult times like when i lose games etc... it helps me relise i cant always win. However i gotta stay strong and practice. - Jamal Mohammad 812

ReplyDeleteI've had many difficulties in life, although i didn't really pay attention to them, because i know that the more i think about them, the more i'm gonna struggle.
ReplyDeleteOvercoming obstacles can make a person stronger by them achieving something.. I like to think of power. You really can be proud of yourself when you put enough effort into something because you know yourself that you struggled to get through this and you won't be ashamed of yourself.

FDR meant probably that when you do the hardest part of everything first you accomplish the easiest thing at last and you will achieve your goals ~via vanessa vilchis 812

ReplyDeleteto over come and obstacle like your own personal fears it would make u stronger. it makes you not fear what your feared before and gives you the confidence to do it over and gives you the determination to over come your other fears.i had seen many people who feared heights. this also includes me. i over came that fear since i went to the empire state building and looking down it wasnt as scary as it used to be. it made me have the confidence to do other activities and visits to other high places and not be as scared because the experience gave enugh confidence to continue doing it. it also gave the dtermination to encounter my other fears like speaking in front of a crowd even though im not perfect at it yet but im trying my best to stand up there and not break down ~jordan 814
ReplyDeleteI think over coming many obstacles can make a person stronger, because if they can face an obstacle once, they can pass it the second time. It would make people feel they have power to face the problem again, and make them stronger.
ReplyDelete-XueRu Lin 814
Overcoming obstacles can make many of us strong and brave toward facing challenges that might block our way toward success. So as a result overcoming obstacles would give us experiences toward overcoming different situations. Also not only that difficult situations would also teach us lesson and would later improve our actions toward challenges and problem solving skill.

the overcoming obstacles,make a person to become stronger because you will have more ability to solve the problems in your life and you will keep practice the ways to face it.for example,some people who have lost their parents and they will face loneliness and helpless.after experience these feeling,they will be independent and become socially if they go through this difficult.
ReplyDeleteOver coming obstacles can make a person stronger because if they are strong willed and determind they can pass even the hardest problems. Once they pass the obstacle he/she would feel that they can accomplished anything if they try their best.

ReplyDeleteLewis Tang- 814
ReplyDeleteOvercoming obstacles can make a person stronger because it is practice or preparation for life since life just keeps building up in difficulty. I know many people that faced difficulties such as gettting to school late a lot, and that may decrease academic abilities. In this case, when people learn from these difficulties, they know when to go to school and be on time. When people deal with their difficulties or problems, they learn and improve from there.
Overcoming obstacles can help make a person stronger because if you have problem and go through it and the next time you have that problem you will able to overcome it . Challenges can make a person a better person .I know a person that overcome the difficult in her life . She have cancer and she fight the cancer bravely . After that she become more stronger and staunch . she grow when she is challenged .

ReplyDeleteOvercoming obstacles make a person stronger by exerting faith in them, providing them the mental support that they need to surpass more obstacles in the future.

For instance having back-stabbing ''friends''. Dealing with them has made me a stronger person. I eventually learned to leave ''friends'' that i thought did not make me feel happy.

Overcoming obstacles helps make a person stronger because if they overcome the problem, in the future, if their faced with a much more difficult problem, they'll be able to easily solve it. We also gain experience from doing so. It also teaches lessons that come in handy later in life. An obstacle I once faced wasn't actually exactly my problem but someone else's that I witnessed. It taught me to be more grateful for what I have and too never be greedy.

ReplyDeleteThere is not one of us that is free for suffering, pain or obstacles in our lives. Some may not have the coping skills, the desire, the strength, whatever it is to cause or encourage them to react by responding to them positively, therefore their negative reactions can and will develop into hatred, anger, disgust; and these emotions when acted on, will only bring more suffering and pain. I do not believe that all people see the silver lining in a cloud, but the question remains, is that because they choose not to or are they simply incapable of doing so for one reason or another.I do believe however, there are circumstaces that no matter how strong the person or how positive their reaction to the many sufferings they have endured, there are limitations to the human spirit (for the most part).

overcoming obstacles help make a person stronger by giving them alots of confidence and helping them believe in themselves and have them think they can do anything. an obstacle i had to over come is surpass someone that i know and to become better than them. once i did that i felt that could do anything considering i completedmy obstacle which was very difficult.
ReplyDelete(Seewing Zheng) overcoming obstacles can make a person stronger because they no longer fear their fear. i helps them control their temper and raise them to a new level n it makes the person more mature than before. well i've faced a challenge where i was teased by these group of people and i didn't think anybody would help me but now that i have my friends i'm no longer afraid of getting help. this makes me stronger because now when i'm teased i'll know what to do.
ReplyDelete(Avi Ni) overcoming an obstacle can make a person stronger, because it makes them learn things that will help them to overcome problems. i faced a challenge when i have to leave china to live with my parents in the US. Dealing with this situation makes me stronger, because i wont be sad if i have to face this problem again.

ReplyDeleteOvercoming obstacles help make a person become stronger because it will help people be prepared when a similar kind of challenge gets thrown at them. Overcoming obstacles help people face and get rid of their fear at the same time. Therefore, it will make them feel better. Last but not least, it'll teach them something new that they haven't learned before, something that can help them later in life.
