what doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

i used to hear a lot of this while i was training for my marathon. i guess i need to convert lessons learnt in marathon training to lessons to be learnt in life. although ideally it should be the other way round, should it not?

on the same note, calvin's dad also comes to mind - what doesn't kill you builds character.

when someone asks me, next, what i've been up to, this will be my answer - working hard on becoming stronger and building character (and not dying in the process) :).
