By, Martin Luther King
( very important and relevant observation - who had a very pragmatic approach to life's conflicting problems and challenging situation )
He said, "The ultimate aim measure of a person is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands in the times of challenge and controversy".
Mark the words,"in moments of comfort and convenience". When there is no challenging situation, no adverse context, no bereavement, where husband and wife are not suffering from any tension, where children are all happy, where good alone results and nothing is wrong we are sure to have peace.
But the ultimate measure or worth of a person is not to be judged when he is living in a peaceful environment, but when he is face to face with adversity.
If he can keep his balance or mental equilibrium then such a person is to be given the highest marks.
If we can rise to the occasion and meet the situation boldly, that is real success.
