Pain and Strength

Pain (trouble) faced makes you stronger. JGS

There is a story about scientists who tried to grow trees in a controlled biosphere environment. All the conditions were right inside the protected dome-perfect amounts of sun, perfect amounts of soil, perfect amounts of moisture. But the trees never grew well. The scientists discovered that the tree root systems were underdeveloped. Why? They finally figured out that healthy trees needed the wind, pushing and straining and testing them, to develop strong root systems.
