I was addicted to play a lot of online games like Dota, Age of Empires, StarCraft and others, but because of work I don't play them anymore. I remember old times when I played Dota with some friends, we even had a clan and we spent several nights playing until next day. We played for at least four hours in a daily basis. Those times were great but unfortunately I have too many responsibilities nowadays that don't let me play anymore. Congratulations on getting a job and accepting some new responsibilities!  thank you for the contributions you are and will be making to society!

Scorn usually means outwardly expression of someone despising or making fun of someone. Contempt & despise are the feelings of disapproval. Despise is often used to mean a stronger feeling such as hate and is more often heard referring to people, their actions, and policies although it can be used for things. Disdain is more often used for things.

In this context, they are using the word “trials” to mean afflictions or challenges which test their character, & which show how willing they are to find the right solutions.
