Nietszche, of Polish origins by the way, first coined this phrase, I think:

"Was mich nicht umbringt, macht mich staerker."

what doesn't kill you makes you stronger

and in Latin here:
Quod te non occidit, te certe fortiorem reddere poterit...- That which does not kill will only serve to make you stronger
(*....i like it...*)

you have always al least 2 options:
1). to be desperated and fail in some departments or:
2). to fight and try to deal with sth what is difficult for you
so: if you get up not beaten by problems, you can say then you became stronger
