The Oxford Dictionary defines "Crisis" as "A time of intense difficulty, trouble, or danger"Often we cannot control the situation we find ourselves in, but we CAN control how we respond to it. Sometimes is it just as simple gaining new perspective through redefining as a function of its parts. "When written in Chinese, the word 'crisis' is composed of two characters - one represents danger, the other represents opportunity." -- John F. Kennedy
