RESILIENCE

If, after losing everything, you still hold resilience within you, then remember that you have lost nothing—because resilience is undoubtedly the most valuable possession. In fact, resilience itself is everything in life.

A person’s true strength is his resilience. It is from resilience that he generates great ideas. Through resilience, he takes initiative. With resilience, he faces risks. Using resilience, he overcomes challenges. Resilience helps him stay steady through life’s ups and downs. Resilience builds noble character, which is the key to achieving progress and success.

A resilient person is someone who can rise above superficial matters, form opinions unaffected by the environment, and face dangers and losses without breaking. They have the strength to sustain themselves, even if everyone abandons them and they are left without material resources.

Lack of resilience is the biggest weakness, while resilience is the greatest strength. If someone loses their resilience, even with ninety-nine possessions, they might ruin themselves over losing just one. But if they can keep their resilience, they will bounce back after losing ninety-nine possessions because they still have one.

A person who lacks resilience falls early, while a resilient person continues to live with strength and purpose. What the unresilient see as a challenge, the resilient turn into a stepping stone. Where the unresilient stop with an excuse, the resilient find a new way forward. The unresilient see only the dark side of events, while the resilient focus on the bright side.

The history of progress is basically the story of persistent people taking action.
