Your Moment of Greatest Adversity

… our educational system generally prepares us for climbing this or that mountain, your life is actually defined by how you make use of your moment of greatest adversity. — David Brooks.

Seldom do I do this, but today is an exception. I really do reccomend that you take the time to read the column by David Brooks in today’s NYTimes and discussing it with someone you are very close, that’s titled “The Moral Peril of Meritocracy.”

I can’t say or write it any better so I won’t try to  do so. Let me know what you think. W.
