Answer
Antisthenes believed that hardship strengthens virtue. This is because hardship forces us to rely on our own strength and resources, which in turn helps us to develop our character. When we are faced with challenges, we have the opportunity to either give up or to persevere. If we choose to persevere, we will become stronger and more resilient as a result.
