Do You Fight or Fold in the Face of Adversity
Watching wimbledon the other week, a commentator said the difference between the great and the good was the ability to fight back in the face of adversity.

In the past 12 months, I seem to have talked a lot about world events and how they affect us. Shocking election and referendum results, dreadful acts of terror, violence, shock, fear.
