Bite-sized bit – What doesn’t kill you does not necessarily make you stronger
“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” – We’re all so used to this cliché floating around in song lyrics, conversations with well-meaning sympathisers and echoing in our own heads as we try not to drown in the tsunami-ridden waters of life.
