Adversity Fate Born

More From Lee Iacocca

Fate is a misplaced retreat. many people rationalize an unexplained event as fate and shrug their shoulders when it occurs. but that is not what fate is. the world operates as a series of circles that are invisible, for they extend to the upper air. fate is where these circles cut to earth. since we cannot see them, do not know their content, and have no sense of their width, it is impossible to predict when these cuts will slice into our reality. when this happens, we call it fate. fate is not a chance event but one that is inevitable, we are simply blind to its nature and time.
Cutting Fate Reality
My dad said: now teddy, you have to make up your mind whether you want to have a constructive and positive attitude and influence on your time. and if you're not interested in a purposeful, useful, constructive life, i just want you to know i have other children that are out there that intend to have a purposeful and constructive life. and so you have to make up your mind about which direction you're going to go. i remember getting - climbing into bed and staring at the ceiling for a good time, but the night hadn't been over when it was very clear to me what kind of life i wanted to lead.

The trials and pressures of life--and how we face them--often define us. confronted by adversity, many people give up while others rise up. how do those who succeed do it? they persevere. they find the benefit to them personally that comes from any trial. and they recognize that the best thing about adversity is coming out on the other side of it. there is a sweetness to overcoming your troubles and finding something good in the process, however small it may be. giving up when adversity threatens can make a person bitter. persevering through adversity makes one better.

In adversity, there is opportunity. show me someone who has done something worthwhile, and i'll show you someone who has overcome adversity. i've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity. adversity is another way to measure the greatness of individuals. i never had a crisis that didn't make me stronger.

There is a kind of crying i hope you have not experienced, and it is not just crying about something terrible that has happened, but a crying for all of the terrible things that have happened, not just to you but to everyone you know and to everyone you don’t know and even the people you don’t want to know, a crying that cannot be diluted by a brave deed or a kind word, but only by someone holding you as your shoulders shake and your tears run down your face.

It's no good trying to get rid of your own aloneness. you've got to stick to it all your life. only at times, at times, the gap will be filled in. at times! but you have to wait for the times. accept your own aloneness and stick to it, all your life. and then accept the times when the gap is filled in, when they come. but they've got to come. you can't force them.

Since i love you, my loneliness begins to throw you.
Loneliness Love You
Corrigan told me once that christ was quite easy to understand. he went where he was supposed to go. he stayed where he was needed. he took little or nothing along, a pair of sandals, a bit of a shirt, a few odds and ends to stave off the loneliness. he never rejected the world. if he had rejected it, he would have been rejecting mystery. and if he rejected mystery, he would have been rejecting faith.
Loneliness Odds Pairs
Lost in loneliness and pain. black and unendurable, thinking of you with every corpuscle of my flesh, in every instant of night and day.
Thinking Of You Pain Loneliness
Thirty--the promise of a decade of loneliness, a thinning list of single men to know, a thinning brief-case of enthusiasm, thinning hair.
