Basics to brilliance, part 2: resilience

It is important to know, and accept, that resilience is not a DNA imperative and resilience cannot be developed as readily if students (or anyone for that matter) only tend to engage in easy goals and only wish to continually experience easy outcomes. Easy goals that result in little effort, and achieve quick and undemanding results, will only tend to lead to later discouragement, and an inevitable lowering of resilience, and self-belief, especially when – not if – circumstances do become more difficult.
