How resilient are you ?

 What the concept of resiliency implies

 Five characteristics of resiliency:

• Be Positive - See life as challenging, dynamic, and filled with opportunities.
• Be Focused - Determine where you are headed and stick to that goal so that barriers do not block your way
• Be Flexible - Open yourself to different possibilities when faced with uncertainty.
• Be Organized - Develop structured approaches to be able to manage the unknown.
• Be Proactive - Look ahead, actively engage change, and work with it.

                   (Darryl Conner in his book, Managing at the Speed of Change)
