The article is a bit long but the core lesson that "there are opportunities to be found in crises" is important. And spending a lot of time in a dysfunctional/crisis-plagued environment is a great way to hone that skill.

As a side note, the Chinese words for "crisis" (危机) and "opportunity" (机会) share a common character (机). A useful mnemonic (crisis can end in an opportunity, opportunity can begin in a crisis).
