Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.

"Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times."- G. Michael Hopf

How much truth is in this quote?? Does it really apply in today's fast moving world ?

100%. I'm assuming you're younger because you're asking this question. But when life f$&ks you over, you grow as a person. This isn't a one time thing, you keep growing the more you live through difficult times. The clarity and strength you receive after it, is something no amount of books can teach you or money can buy. You become a "stronger" person because of it.

Yeah, its true. Early developers had hard time making Byjus the learning App, which created good times when company started getting funding from left right and center. Because of good times company hired a bunch of weak Amazon EM’s promoted then as directors, VP at byjus. And weak men create Hard times !
