Portuguese term or phrase: A vida está cheia de desafios que, se aproveitados de forma criativa . . .
"A vida está cheia de desafios que, se aproveitados de forma criativa, transformam-se em oportunidades."

This sentence is attributed on the internet to one Maxwell Maltz. Therefore it should be easy to find the original English sentence, except that I'm not finding it. The closest I've come to so far is -

"Learn to make crisis work for you by making crisis a creative opportunity"

http://books.google.com.br/books?id=J8dqtO6XqPMC&pg=PA222&lp...

Can anyone tell me if the Portuguese sentence is correctly or incorrectly attributed to Maltz? Does anyone have the original English source language?

TIA
