Overcoming Resilience

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” Joshua 1:9. Adversity is what comes to mind when reading this verse. The Book of Joshua teaches us to accept the good things God provides for us; things like adversity, suffering, and perseverance. I chose this verse because God chose for me to go through something so horrifying at the age of seventeen. It is natural to ask God “why me” in a time of hardship that never think about the purpose he has for us. How can adversity and suffering be a good thing? Because learning to overcome something is what builds your character. It turns you into the person God created you to be; and you find ways

Even when the weight of the world is coming down and doubt is setting in, there still are powers to help carry on. Louie Zamperini, a famous Olympic athlete, was dragged down to a low level when he was captured by Japanese forces and suffered under horrendous conditions in the many POW camps he stayed at. Throughout all of life’s trials, he survived, due to his strong resilience and agency. He wanted to live, and even though he may have wanted to give up, he had plenty of things to live for. In Unbroken, Laura Hillenbrand uses both internal and external conflict to show the theme that people can stand up against enemies even when the odds seem stacked up against them.

Over decades, the research of resilience has developed from understanding individual’s resilience qualities and protective factors, to the process of resilience and the interventions that promote resilience (Richardson, 2002; Wright et al., 2013). Recently, the focus of resilience shift to the neurobiological process because of the development of science and technology (Wright et al., 2013). While these literatures emerging, there are two noteworthy issues. First, the outcome of the studies were mainly emphasized on main-stream population (Ungar, 2006). Second, little attention was given to resilience across cultures (Ungar, 2006; Ungar et al., 2005). Hence, it is important to investigate how resilience is being defined and understand in different cultures; what are the challenges when conducting a cross cultural research; and what are the key elements when implementing intervention in different cultures.

Resilience is the ability to overcome hard situations, learn from mistakes, and use the past to get over future hardships. Jeanette Walls shows resilience in many ways. Although her family is not too successful and live a much more

Before getting back up after you fall you have to gather all your strength and push whatever made you fall harder.Every time you fall the same solution might not work so you have to be stubborn and keep an attitude that tells your challenger Try your best shot, and that if you fall you won’t be gone for long.People overcome obstacles in less than three ways the three ways are by keeping a positive attitude, being determined, and lastly being a creative problem solver.

Unbroken: The Story Of Resilience, Survival, and Redemption Unbroken is a book about how a single man in World War II portrayed resilience, survival, and redemption. Louie expressed all of these traits throughout the entire book. Louie relied on God to help him, and his belief in the immortal being alleviated him during World War II. Not many men were as strong-willed as Louie, but he was a fantastic icon for the other soldiers.

The true meaning of resilience is shown many times in the book Unbroken. Having strong problem-solving skills is what it took Louie and Phil to survive the troubles of beings trapped at sea. The two and Mac faced many challenges and all of them dealt with it differently. They supported each other by communicating and sharing all the food.

During our lives we come across many difficult times in which we learn important skills. However, our actions choose what skills we've gained. For instance, a person who makes rational choices, keeps aware of what these choices do, and never letting the situation over take them have the characteristics of a resilient perosn. People with resilience have a way of dealing with problems in the most effective way possible, like Louie Zamperini, who was lost at sea for months after his plane malfunctioned and crashed. His fight for survival brought forth these traits and caused him to outlive his situation.

Unbroken is a book by. Laura Hillenbrand, it is based on a true story. The main character’s name was Louie and he was an amazing runner and went into the olympics. He ended up fighting in wars and lived a rough life for awhile with lots of screw ups and wrong things. I enjoyed reading the book “Unbroken”, although, I did think the start of the book could have been stronger, it was hard to get started on the book because it started off pretty blaw.

The importance of a person centred and inclusive approach is that your looking at the individual child and the needs of that child and also trying to meet the needs of the individual child. Such things like setting targets for them to meet and achieve would or possibly could help a child achieve. Also such things as individual learning plans can help.

The United States Army’s master resilience training is used to grow and thrive in the face of challenges and bounce back from adversity. Build core competencies that enable mental toughness, optimal performance, strong leadership, and goal achievement (Reivich & CSF2, Master Resilience Training Version 3.1 Participant Guide, p. 7). The Master Resilience Trainer Course (MRT-C) trains resilience skills in order to provide the Army with a cadre of resilience and performance training experts (Army Regulation 350-53, para 4-3 (a) (2)). The MRT-C is what is known in the Army as Train the Trainer, meaning when the Soldier graduates the course he/she then is a subject matter expert. Students must pass the written exam (multiple choice and True/False) on Day 9 with a 70% score or higher in a 1 and 1/2-hour period. This test is closed book and covers all course materials. Students who fail to score 70% or higher will receive additional training at the end of class on Day 9 and will retest on Day 10. Failure to pass the exam with a 70% or higher in the second test will result in class drop and the student will not be awarded the 8R Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) (Army Regulation 350-53, para 4-3 (a) (3) (c)).

Understanding Resilience Theory: A Case Study of Steve Pemberton Steve Pemberton (formerly Klakowicz) documented his experience of abuse, neglect, poverty and other traumas as a child in his memoir A Chance in the World. Popular lore tells us that facing this kind of adversity, especially early in life, would cause a multitude of negative outcomes including mental illness, substance abuse or criminal activity in adulthood. How is it then that Steve was able to not only graduate high school, but also attend Boston College and go on to live a successful and relatively “normal” life as an adult?

When I heard a term called resilience, I have no idea about it and think that it is not related to me. After I had a lecture with a topic resilience. I realize it is necessary and I need to face many adversity in my life. Also, I remember something happened in my past are shown my resilience level. I would like to share the story in my life to show the factors which are indicated in the last part can show resilience level.

In my term paper, I would like to talk about Resilience which I believe is a prerequisite for an effective leader. Life has ups and downs and adversities are inevitable. Things can beyond our control, it is impossible for us to prevent unpleasant circumstances from happening. Difficulties and problems come out of nowhere, the stress and anxiety associated with adversity may knock us down if we cope with them inadequately. Chronic stress can lead to mental collapse if we still cannot manage them well, which is definitely undesirable for a leader because it can affect the cooperation with others as well as the team morale.
