What is resilience?
Resilience is like a kind of "callous of the soul" that acts as an invisible "buffer," allowing stressful things to bounce off more quickly—an ability that can be summarized under the term "resilience." The precise definition of the term states that resilience is understood as the ability to master crises in the life cycle by drawing on personal resources.
These are used as an opportunity for personal development. Some people in public life demonstrate this very impressively. Just think of athletes who, after a serious accident resulting in a permanent disability, are still fully engaged in life, now defining themselves by other things and being satisfied despite their difficult fate.
