Two young boys were raised by an alcoholic father.
As they grew older, they moved away from that broken
home, each going his own way in the world. Several years
later, they happened to be interviewed separately by a
psychologist who was analyzing the effects of drunkenness
on children in broken homes.
His research revealed that the two men were strikingly
different from each other. One was a clean-living teetotaler;
the other, a hopeless drunk like his father. The psychologist
asked each of them why he developed the way he did, and
each gave an identical answer, “What else would you expect
when you have a father like mine?”
That story was revealed by Dr. Hans Selye, internationally
renowned Canadian physician and scientist known as the
father of stress. A medical pioneer, he devoted the majority
of his years to the exploration of biological stress. And he
related the story of the two sons of the drunken father in an
article for New Realities.

makes the difference. It is how you react to each
circumstance you encounter that determines the result.
Every human being in the same situation has the
possibilities of choosing how he will react - either
positively or negatively.”
Thus, stress is not necessarily caused by stressor agents;
rather, it is caused by the way stressor agents are perceived,
interpreted, or appraised in each individual case. Outside
events and people upset some more than others, because
they are looked upon and dealt with in entirely different
ways. The stressors may even be the same in each case, yet
the reaction will almost always be different in different
people.
Armed with that kind of information, it would seem that we
can greatly improve our reactions to stressful situations.
What seems to be a cruel world to one person might be
filled with challenge and opportunity to another. It is our
reaction that makes the difference.
