"Obstacles should not stop you. If you run into a wall, you should think about how to climb over it, not how to get around it."
-Michael Jordan
Psychological resilience (
The resilient individual is not one who ignores or denies difficulties or belittles them. Rather, he is one who succeeds in moving forward with renewed vigor, with deeper and more conscious knowledge.
The term resilience in psychology is borrowed from physics. In physics, resilience is the state of certain materials to regain their original shape after being subjected to deformation pressures. In psychology, resilience is coping with and overcoming stressful or traumatic events, and continuing to grow with a view to the future
