Robert Frost Impact On Life

Life will throw even the most successful people challenges that they cannot avoid but the outcome of those situations always lies firmly in the hands of the people involved. Figures from the past have shown this to be true. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Gandhi, etc. are inspirational people who have taken unfortunate circumstances and have changed them into opportunities--into unarticulated examples of accomplishments that have changed the society’s views on the benefits of always striving for something better.
