When people go through a lot of pain in situations and they not only aren't crushed by the pain / situation but actually are stronger as a result, that's probably something we can all respect and consider "how they think."
Imagine ... a mind that is so healthy, so powerful that when the really hard times come, we not only get through those tough times but are stronger and see greater success in all areas of life.
Think for just a minute ... how many problems could be solved or just totally avoided if we were to have strong mental health.
