The topic is vast in its sense that can't be explained in short but i have tried to encompass it in short. Here is my paragraph:


Sweet are the uses of adversity.

Life as a bliss, is a lesson taught by adversity. No delight is delight except a fruit of misfortune. Endorsing this fact, Shakespeare in his play 'As you like it' writes 'sweet are the uses of adversity' as a dialogue quoted by a duke, who has been illegally deprived from his authority. Now living an ascetic life, he admits that the real comfort in life comes through the difficulties we face. And we learn more from our bad time than good. In this line there lies a great and true aspect of life. Misfortunes and failures actually excuse us directing towards the success. These are difficulties that inject maturity in us redeeming our character. Moments of happiness are actually the same we experience always while it's the adversity that cheers up in the cause that makes them joyous. It's difficult time that introduces us the way of life of powerless, illuminating the sense of sympathy in us. If there had been no bad time, how one could have know the essence of good time. But there doesn't lie a lesson in a stumble for everyone. Failure brings along some lessons but these lessons remain unseen from those having opacity of impatience. Infect patience is a key to get the lessons out of mishaps. As life is all same for everyone but only those remain immortal that live it enduring its troubles and misadventures patiently. Indeed it's a natural phenomenon that the more we face hardships of life, the more we gain from our life. A candle can never shine without getting its wax burnt, same, a person's fortitude becomes the illumination for others. Actually virtue is a child of those moments in life when one gets its expectations unfulfilled. Thus, Life is nothing, except what one makes it, learning from its tragedy. And almost every big name found in history somehow had a life full of difficulties and this sketches the witness to the fact that surely sweet are the uses of adversity.

It is one of the paradox of nature.People are afraid of adversities. They shun difficulties and want to lead a life of luxury and comfort. But the world famous poet-dramatist, Shakespeare, held a different opinion. For him the uses of adversity are sweet. He compares adversity to toads. A toad is ugly and poisonous. We hate it. But it has a jewel in its head. So also we are afraid of adversity. But it has also many sweet uses. Adversity is a blessing in disguise. It is not a curse as is generally supposed.
Misfortunes make man. They are the real test of character. One who faces difficulties comes out of the encounter better and abler. They are like a hard school master. Students are afraid of such a teacher. He takes work from them and punishes them also. But he has the good of the students at heart. He makes their career.Difficulties are the ladders on which we climb to success.Difficulties vanish when they are faced boldly. They are like thieves that take to their heels at the first encounter. What appear to be unsure-mountable mountains disappear before a bold attempt, and paths hitherto unseen open out to view. Everest was conquered by those who boldly faced the dangers in their way and did not falter in their attempts, in spite of initial failures. Columbus could discover America only because he faced the unknown wild oceans with confidence and courage and did not care for any difficulties. The entire human civilization is but a record of the exploits of those heroic souls who were undeterred by an difficulties that came in their way. Rather, the difficulties, were but spurs that goaded them on to make yet greater efforts. greater difficulties more sweet fruit. great example is present in our prophet life.
HE face the all problems with courage and at last he become success full.Adversities are the experiences which remove the veils of delusion from our eyes. There is another aspect of adversity. It prevents us from being mad of power. When our success is distorted by our failures, we try to think where we have erred or actually where the fault lies. It gives us a chance to mend the things for future. Misery develops a sense of sympathy for others. One who has never undergone the strains and stresses of misfortune, cannot understand and appreciate the feelings and emotions of those who may be placed unfavorably. It, thus, humanizes our life.The entire human civilization is but a record of the exploits of those heroic souls who were not deterred by difficulties that came in their way. Rather the difficulties gave them immense courage and confidence to make yet greater efforts.

Thomas Edison was a newspaper seller and he was afraid of dark. He wanted to invent a bulb for his night phobia and for world. He tried almost one thousand times to invent a light bulb but he remained unsuccessful. He did not give up and surrender; his all tries were unsuccessful except one. Each try gave him strength and eager unto success. His labor bore fruit; his struggle made him succeeded and took him towards peaks. When he was asked about his failures, he replied "I didn't fail 1,000 times. I found 1,000 ways how not to create a light bulb" Indeed, Thomas Edison got sweet uses of adversity and got success.According to a verse of Holy Quraan which says life is an examination. Allah examines human-kinds through various ways. He sends difficulties and hurdles in his follower's life and he observes how his follower passes these hurdles. He looks that does his follower complains or surrenders his will. He who crosses life with faith, optimism and smashes each adversity like a thrasher he gets his goal. And, so are the Countries which face difficulties and utilize their sweet uses they are developed.these two examples you can also give in you paragraphs. these example already given in essay written by seniornow tell me next topic

very nice expansion, and suitable examples. You have correctly followed the topic from start to end and have not left the subject. Just two things i want to say, one again that take a glance on any good grammar book like 'wren and martin' as still there are many grammatical mistakes in your paragraphs because these impact the whole writing although one's expressions are best of all. and 2nd, you must, must outline your paragraph before writing it. Because, it gives order to our writings. By the way very good paragraph and admirable examples. I also should consider examples. And that example of candle, which i gave, actually i meant that a candle gives light after getting burnt, silimarly one's fortitude during adversities is like burning and this is what, when one gains a lot of good. Well i will further clarify my examples in forthcoming paragraphs. And factually i wandered from the topic in last lines. I will try to improve it. And our next topic is ' young habits die hard'.

Young Habits Die Hard:
“We become what we do repeatedly” (Sean Covey)
It has rightly been said, because when we do something frequently it becomes our habit.
Young age is very sensitive period because at that time children are unaware about the outcomes of habits. They do things for fun. Later on, these habits become part of their life and are difficult to correct. Mark Twain states:
“Everyone is a moon and has a dark side
Which he never shows to anybody”
Habit is something like a nature and once a habit is formed we are completely at its mercy. We want to abandon bad habits but we can not because we have become the slaves of our wishes/.
The seeds of habits when sown in early stage of life grow into a strong structure in later age. Time and the continue practice water these seeds to develop grip in ones personality.
Changing habits and addictions can be very difficult, particularly if they have gone on for a long time.
The chains of habit are too light to be felt
until they are too heavy to be broken. - W. Buffet
Our brains are hardwired to convert repeated behaviors into automatic routines, and become a habit forms. This allows your brain to work “less” and you become habitual of this activity.
Childhood generally is a transitional period for man. What he learns during this period, leaves their imprints on his mind for many years in the future.
Bad habits have its own charm but these are always destructive and ruin the personality of a person
On the other hand developing good habits is pretty difficult in the beginning. But with the passage of time, the work which seems to us difficult becomes easy. When a child is sent to school; he weeps and cries. But when he daily goes to school it becomes his routine work this example reveal that when we practice things with full devotion and good intentions, this is perfectly injected into our personality.
The character of a person is essentially the product of his habits. Character is not formed by abrupt actions but it is rather a system of repeated actions. Therefore, it is emphasized that good habits be taught in early life. Samuel Smiles has said Sow a thought,and you reap an act;
Sow an act,and you reap a habit;
Sow a habit, and you reap a character;
Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.”
He means to say that our habits are our character and our character leads us towards destination
Influential Elements In The Formation Of Habits:
There are many elements that play a vital role in forming good habits or bad habits like family, environment ,education and companions etc. Initially a child imitates its elders.
Education is a crucial element as well in the formation of ideal habits. It helps ion moral purification of a child.
To epitomize the whole discussion we can say that habits which are instilled in young age have long term effects, whether these are good or bad.
There is no doubt that young habits die hard but a person, is known as the best creature of this world, can modify it. Because he has been endowed a strong will that can overcome any bad habit at any stage of his life. Sum up my above mentioned discussion by a quote of Samuel Johnson:
“The chains of habits are too weak to be felt
Until they are too strong to be broken”

Yes those are different but just little improvement because if you ignored them then it would be hard to avoid them in future.

Due to some busy tasks i couldn't write the paragraph and your paragraph is best. You have arranged it quite smartly. Initial lines are good and best suitable examples. If you don't mind, can we rewrite this same topic tomorrow in short means containing at most 300 words. I think it would be better
