Explain How Hardships Often Prepare Ordinary People For An Extraordinary Destiny

Decent Essays
I do agree with the quote “Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny”, because I can really relate to this. I can give examples of how “hardships can bring an extraordinary destiny.” I’ve been on the internet a lot lately, and I’ve been asking other artists for tips on how to improve in my drawing. They said some very encouraging and motivational things. The things they said for example was “Practice and practice, you’ll see where that leads you!” Many times I’ve been told to just practice, and even sometimes they’ll even tell me to focus on something specifically to improve my drawing skills.
I feel that there is a reason hardships exist, and that reason is “to push you, to go beyond your limits and expectations.”
