Resilience

Resilience is that ineffable quality that allows some people to easily bounce back when life gets tough. Rather than letting failure overcome them and drain their resolve, they find a way to rise from the ashes. Psychologists have identified some of the characteristics that make a person resilient, among them a positive attitude, optimism, the ability to regulate emotions and to see failure as a form of helpful feedback. Even after misfortune, resilient people are blessed with such an outlook that they are able to change course and soldier on.
