Triumph in the Face of Adversity

http://www.bisconsulting.ca/seminars/success_factors.php

To triumph in the face of adversity is to overcome obstacles no matter how big or small they might be. But it is also more then that. It is a matter of seeing your glass half full, instead of half empty. So with no matter what you face you are always looking for a bright side, in order to overcome what lies ahead.
One example of this is when Tillie wins the science fair. Due to the position that her mother has basically forced them into. She is forced to overcome the constant verbal beat downs by her mother. The reason for me choosing this picture is because no matter what you face, with enough dedication you can achieve it. You can grab the key of success and open the door to an all new world.
Another I think would be how even though her mom is hateful and cruel she still seems to find the bright side of things. Viewing her glass of water as half full.
