"Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant."

Could anyone give me real life applications of this quote from a book or a historical character like Hellen Keller or something. Please!!

Also, applications or reasons that would prove this statement false, or at least disagree with it?

Cause I just can't seem to think of any. I completely agree with Horace.

Please and thank you all in advance!!! ^^
