Many people think the true test of a person's character is how they handle adversity. In actuality the more character revealing test is how you handle success. When someone bad-mouths you, your reaction shows your baseline character (patience and tolerance levels). Everyone experiences this. But when you are successful and someone praises you, your reaction shows your maturity in your humility; a much more accurate measurement of true character.
21 Fire tests the purity of silver and gold,but a person is tested by being praised.
