Exactly, we should encourage attacking adversity. It is the only way to get resiliency.

I've been told in the past I'm good at solving complex problems I've never encountered before. I just show them my notes on how I solved it and say I'm not good at all, just persistent and willing to learn as I go. I notice a lot of people give up at the first sign of adversity. I might too depending on the criticality but that doesn't mean I accept defeat.
