People seem to respond to adversity in a variety of ways and it is hard to[snip]
predict.
Let me speculate one reason why people believe adversity is good for you (even if not for them).
Imagine a young person who has been adversified (like his dad has deversified his stock portfolio in the same time period...) to the point that he gets into Harvard by having been Captain of his school's football team, class president, volunteer at the local soup kitchen every Saturday and Sunday, etc....
Now, suddenly, John Bears Fortipton's agent hands this young person a check for US$1,000,000/.38 (the multiplier for inflation since The Millionaire was on TV), all taxes paid.
What will the young person do with his good fortune?
