When the going gets tough, the tough get going.- Joe Kennedy

Joseph Patrick Kennedy was an American businessman, investor, and politician. He is known for his own political prominence as well as that of his children and was the patriarch of the Irish-American Kennedy family, which included President John F. Kennedy, Attorney General, and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and longtime Senator Edward M. "Ted" Kennedy.

"When the going gets tough, the tough get going."

used to say that when there are problems, strong people work hard to solve them. This saying is attributed both to Joseph P. Kennedy (1888-1969), father of the USA President John F. Kennedy and to Norwegian-born American football player and coach Knute Rockne (1888-1931).

In the early 21st century, the phrase is used as a management motivational talk and is popular in many self-help books.

People rejoice when they are happy, but get discouraged when they encounter problems. Only people with strong hearts can deal with adversity calmly and find solutions to adversity.

The phrase was originally uttered by Joseph Kennedy, the father of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy. It was made popular by a song by Billy Ocean. It is widely cited by football coaches, CEOs, and motivational speakers around the world.

In tough situations, people who believe in their abilities will work harder to meet the challenge. They won't sit back and relax. Nor do they wail and curse their fate. They mustered the courage to stretch their limits, tap their potential, and face even the worst-case scenarios with a smile. The weak, on the other hand, crumble and fail in this crucial test of life.

History is full of examples of great men overcoming difficulties with absolute perseverance and courage. The lives of our freedom fighters prove it.

Tough times don't last long, but tough people last.

It is important to remember that every difficulty or obstacle is temporary. It may take a while and it may not end as we expected, but it will definitely end. We must have positive thoughts and be with positive people. Negativity breeds negative emotions and behaviors.

Another way to get through tough times is to reach out to those in need. This will make our own problems appear smaller to them. We must count our blessings and be thankful for what we have. Last but not least, we must never be afraid to follow our hearts.

Adversity is part of life. They should not be considered unwelcome visitors. They make us better individuals by teaching us to be fearless and compassionate towards our fellow human beings. The key to a healthy and happy life is, after all, being in good spirits. There will always be dawn after night.
