English term or phrase: best measure of a man
Доброго времени суток.

It is a remarkable psychological phenomenon. When people have a problem and that problem is solved, they love you for it. It’s the business version of the axiom “The best measure of a man isn’t when things are going well, but rather when things are going poorly.”

Я правильно понимаю, что общий смысл фразы "The best measure of a man" - "Лучше всего о человеке можно судить..."

Спасибо.
