My version would be - Going from distress to de-stress demands character.:> But I'd agree that it seems like it demands a change.Thats where the character comes in :>
In principle you are right; just that when they are treated simply as words, saying ' Going from distress to de-stress demands character' would imply an addional character is needed to get from one word to the other.
Ok Karthik :) Thanks :) OK, I guess I am not able to appreciate the subtle different between 'nature of a person' and 'person' ... But I liked Srini's comment .. :)
I hope you don't mind that I am commenting anonymously..

Yes, kinda awkward, not the most natural of puns.
Hahahaha! Looks like character is the central object of the discussion! :D :D Nice pun there again! :D
Well said, both Karthik and Laasya!!
Greatly thought provoking.
And here's my version ;)
Going from distress to de-stress demands a character ready for 'change' ... !
Shamit, that was brilliant!
yes 'i' need to change :D
I tried hard to understand what new difference Shamit tried to make, I couldn't.... I'm inquisitive..
Anonymous ,
In my original line, 'character' was a pun on the alphabetical letter, and the nature of a person.
Whereas in Shamit's, it was on the alphabetical letter, and the person himself/herself!
Maybe I'm stating the obvious, and you were looking for something more..Anyway, I thought his version was more elegantly phrased:-)

Anonymous,
its nothing too subtle or involved ! I can't clarify the difference very well in writing!
Ya, I too liked Srini's comment:-) But I think it should be slightly modified to 'It is I who needs to change'..
Oh I don't mind you commenting anonymously at all :-) Thanks for reading this blog !:-)
:-)
And about anonymous commenting:
Ok, then I don't need to change :D
