Do Difficult Challenges Benefit People? "A difficult challenge brings out the best in people" is a very inspirational quote. It basically says that you need to have a challenging situation to see the person inside. I find that true.There are tons and tons of examples of this quote in movies, books, and real life. When I think about people who had to see something bad happen to see who someone was, I think of one of my favorite movies, the Lion King. In the movie, Scar, Simba's uncle, lied about how Simba's dad died. Scar killed him because he wanted the throne. Then, when they fight for the throne, after Simba finds out what really happened, and so do we. We find out that Scar was a dishonest lion and Simba stands up for what is right, no matter how hard. In Scar's case, that is an example of finding out that the person is bad and nothing else. A real life example would be Lucille Ball. She faced many difficult challenges in order to be the best actress she could be. One way she found out was when her acting teacher sent home a letter that told her mom that Lucille had no talent and they were wasting their money. Even though Lucille was hurt by those harsh comments, she stayed in acting school and eventually became a Hollywood Legend, starred in many movies, many T.V. shows, and even started her own production company with her husband. In the end, Lucille Ball rose over the sea of people who thought she had no talent, didn't like her, and weren't impressed by her. A literature example would be The 39 Clues. The two main characters, Amy and Dan Cahill, are on a hunt to find 39 clues that will lead them to fame and fortune. They are 12 and ten years old, the family that is competing against them are pure evil, and they are the youngest and most helpless. They powered through all of the challenges that they had, and I'm on the third book and they are really good at getting around the obstacles. They are also great escape artists, therefore they can overcome when they get trapped, unlike their aunts, uncles, and cousins. When people see the quote " A difficult challenge brings out the best in people", they probably wonder if they need a challenge to see if their friends are really who they say they are, or if they can really trust their friends and family. I wondered that too when I read that quote for the first time. I figured out that not every person wouldn't pass the truth test, and the result would be a liar. The quote is very true, you do need a challenge to bring out the best in people. The harder the challenge, the more you will find out.
