Everyday Challenges "A difficult challenge brings out the best in people" a person once said. To me this means that any challenge will make any person better than they are. Personally I think that this is not true all of the time. Haven't you ever watch a pro sport and the game is so intense that a few players go crazy and foul everybody? Well I have, and it is not pretty. This happens because the players are challenged to win the game. That is one of my reasons that this saying is not always true.

My first argument has to do with sports, in particular Major League baseball. When teams lose they are challenging themselves to win and they will do anything to. Some coaches will make some of their players take drugs. This to me is not the best in someone, taking drugs or people making other people take drugs for their benefits. Am I crazy because I think this, no this quote is not always right.

My second reason that this quote is not entirely true is that I see people disregard it every day. In gym, people go crazy trying to win a game of capture the flag. They argue with every play against their team in wiffle ball. People will cheat, foul, and bend the rules in any way to win. That is all because they challenged themselves to win and it ended up horrible.

The saying "A difficult challenge brings out the best in people" can also be true. In one of my favorite books //**Harry Potter**// **//and the Prisoner of Askaban//** Harry is faced with the challenge of learning a new spell to protect himself. In this book Harry discovers his power and potential of a great wizard to be. As a result of challenging himself, by learning the advanced spell Harry saved his friend from a horrible fate.

This also reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Godzilla.This saying reminds me of Godzilla because a character in the movie is weak and not brave but turns out to be a hero in the end because of a challenge. The challenge was to rid New York City of a Giant man-eating, city-destroying, humongous mutated lizard. By using his smarts and bravery he and his friends defeated the beast from causing further damage to New York.

"A difficult challenge brings out the best in people" is a quote that is sometimes true but sometimes not. Without difficult challenges in life it would be horrible, say you want to go to college but it is too big a challenge. That means no good carer after high school. But hence my examples it could also be bad. In conclusion this quote is sometimes correct but sometimes totally wrong.
