“An identity would seem to be arrived at by the way in which the person faces and uses his experience.”
— James Baldwin

Simplified Meaning:
Our sense of who we are comes from how we deal with and learn from what happens to us in life. Think about two people who both lose their jobs. One person might see it as a chance to start a new career and grow stronger. This person uses the experience to become more resilient and creative. The other person might feel defeated and give up trying. Their outlook and actions shape their identity differently. How we respond to our experiences and what we learn from them helps define us and our place in the world. So, it's important to face challenges positively and use them to build a stronger, better version of ourselves.
