JMC Job Search Tips (Simple Things pt 92…)
Resilience…
Our history has taught that we are nothing if not resilient but what does that mean. It means we get
knocked down but we don’t stay down. So how did we get that way? It begins with our attitude or
predisposition. Everyone who came or comes to this country is optimistic about the possibilities
here. And that type of thinking is contagious especially when you look around and see the evidence
of what can be achieved by those who believe. Every story that I’ve ever read about the
accomplishments of visionaries as well as the great forward strides of this country has been
preceded by dark and sometimes tragic times. But because we have been unwilling to succumb to
failure and to despair, we’ve continued to get up, dust ourselves off, and try again and again until we
meet with success. That’s what resilience is all about and hopefully you’ll keep that in mind as your
search continues…
