Success is not final. Failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.

Stoppable, not because she did not have failures or doubts, but because she continued on despite them. By Beau Taplin

Resilience is the ability to handle life's changes and adversities successfully. Resilient people are not immune to hardship. However, they can emerge from it - scarred, perhaps, yet stronger. Resilience is mental and emotional toughness. All of us need resilience because adversity is inevitable and resilience will protect us from giving up and succumbing to pressure.Unfortunately, in today's society, many youth lack this essential quality. We observe daily how many students do not have the necessary coping skills to weather storms and overcome obstacles. The question arises: How can youth build this essential trait?

1. Put your problem in perspective: Learn to distinguish between major problems and minor events.

2. Learn from others: Speak with a trustworthy adult who has endured adversity - perhaps your go-to-person.

3. Be patient: Do not be discouraged if you feel that your emotional recovery is taking longer than expected.

4. Cultivate gratitude: There are always things for which to be grateful.

5. Choose contentment: We can't always choose our circumstances in life, but we can all choose how to respond to them.
