Being Resilient!

Well, this post is all about the word, "resilient". Resilient means springing back; rebounding. It is used as an adjective. This is the definition from www.dictionary.com. Here's an example of the word in a sentence. My good friend, Primo, has the great trait of being the most resilient of my friends. He displays resilience in many ways through being calm, cool, and having good stress management skills. Resilient is one of my favorite words, because RSG has learned to become flexible through various, tough catastrophes in the past year. Resilience is a two-dimensional construct concerning the exposure of adversity and the positive adjustment outcomes of that adversity, when it is defined in a psychological context. Resilient people are expected to adapt successfully even though they experience risk factors that are against good development. Resilience in psychology is the positive capacity of people to deal with stress and catastrophe. Resilience is also treated as an effective coping mechanism when people are under stress, such as a long period of unemployment. Finally, RSG concludes this post with a picture of Michael J. Fox. He is an inspiration for all of us, since he has Parkinson's Disease. His uncanny ability to cope with the disease for many years is an excellent example of being resilient.
