Reply to Subtopic 5: Challenging yourself
We are always talking about solidifying our features and they are all easy on paper. In details, we need to put all of the instructions into action, otherwise “wishes don’t wash dishes”. So, we should exercise persistence, resistance and the like so as to expand our skills.
In details :arrow: in detail
Resilient people like to challenge themselves and they are capable of substantial changes in interaction with unfamiliar or uncomfortable circumstances. People may think of a fast way to distance themselves from difficult situations, but resilient ones seek the best way to come out of hardships. Therefore, they are most likely to take action and make a change because they do not act passively. In other words, they see a value in facing difficulties, which is getting to know their strong and weak points and reacting properly.
Thank you for your insightful comment. I couldn’t agree more with your perspective on resilience. It’s true that resilient individuals have a unique approach to challenges; they don’t shy away but rather face them head-on, using these experiences as opportunities for growth and self-discovery. By embracing difficulties, they learn more about their strengths and weaknesses and develop the skills needed to navigate through adversity effectively.
Reply to Subtopic 4: Changing yourself
If we want to be more resilient, it needs us to be changed. Also, there are many qualities that need improvement. For instance, consistency, self confidence, problem-solving, resistance, etc.

If you are a person capable of change, you are certainly a person who has certain goals and you are seeking new perspectives in your life. Each step you take to get closer to your goal, you face new challenges, you get stronger and you get more resilient, but the challenges become more demanding too. The fruits of facing all of difficulties that you overcome one by one, are you becoming a new person. The more demanding your goals are, the more joy you will find in achieving them.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Your perspective on the relationship between change, goal-setting, and resilience is truly inspiring. It’s clear that as we strive toward our goals, we inevitably encounter challenges that test our limits. These experiences not only strengthen our resilience but also contribute to our personal growth, transforming us into stronger and more capable individuals.

Developing resilience necessitates knowing our features at first. In fact, we should know our strengths and weak points. In doing so, we can realize which parts of our characters need any change.
strengths and weak points :arrow: strengths and weaknesses OR strong and weak points
Self-reflection is the key to develop resilience in face of difficulties. But it also has roots in our desire to change and demands mental flexibility and mobility. If I am a person who avoids any form of change and I feel uncomfortable and insecure in facing new things and challenges, it means I am not willing to learn about myself and I wouldn’t be a resilient person.

Reply to Subtopic 2: The impact of failure on resilience
Failure is not the end and it can help us to gain more experience by which we can perform better in the next round. Metaphorically speaking, experience is the best teacher.
I completely agree—failure should not be seen as the end, but rather as a valuable opportunity to learn and grow. Each setback provides us with lessons that help us improve and perform better in future endeavors. Experience, gained through both successes and failures, is indeed the best teacher. Embracing this mindset allows us to continually develop our skills and resilience, ultimately leading to greater achievements in the long run.
Failure brings strength and resilience. Resilient people learn from their failure, such as their vulnerabilities and mistakes. Over time, this circle of failure and learning from it, makes them a more resilient person in face of demanding circumstances.
this circle of failure and learning from it, makes :arrow: “make” because the subject is plural.
makes them a more resilient person :arrow: … them more resilient people because “person” should refer back to “them” which is a violation of “agreement” in grammar.
in face of demanding circumstances :arrow: In the face of demanding circumstances
Reply to Subtopic 1: What is resilience?
Resilience is one’s capacity to cope with difficult situations. There are three main domains for resilience, physical, emotional, and mental. We might be more resilient in one domain than others.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. You’ve highlighted an important aspect of resilience by breaking it down into physical, emotional, and mental domains. It’s true that we all have varying levels of resilience across these different areas, and recognizing where our strengths lie can help us better navigate challenging situations.
That is a skill to recover from catastrophic conditions and stay on the right track again. All humans face difficulties and strive to normalize everything but they have different abilities to do so.
It’s more common to say: “get back on the right track”.
