One word can say a lot.
Spend some time with a philosophy or language buff, and you might hear that the Chinese character for “crisis” is actually a combination of characters meaning “danger” and “opportunity.” The basic idea, syndicated “Straight Dope” columnist Cecil Adams explained a few years ago, is that a moment of crisis presents two possible outcomes: either growth and positive change or regression and failure. Sounds like some pretty deep ancient wisdom, right?
