The Measure of Man

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in the moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy" Martin Luther King, Jr.

How true is this quote in today's environment? Patience and preservance may not necessarily be virtue of the 21st century corporate environment where progression at the speed of technology is sorted. In the mind of many Gen-X and Gen-Y colleagues, challenges are fine as long as they are achievable and does not result in too much uncomfort during the process. The returns are comparable to their peers. However, controversies may not be welcome. Am I wrong or the world has changed?
