What’s remarkable — among those entrepreneurs who experience post traumatic growth,
值得注意的是–这些企业家中那些经历过创后成长的人,
they now view their learning disability as a desirable difficulty which provided them an advantage
成功后的他们将这样的学习障碍看作是值得经历的困难,这样的困难给予了他们优势,

They don’t think they are who they are in spite of adversity, they know they are who they are because of adversity.

They embrace their trauma and hardships as key elements of who they’ve become,

and know that without those experiences, they might not have developed the muscle and grit required to become successful.
他们知道,如果没有这些经历,他们也许没有办法发展出成功者需要具备的勇气和毅力。
