Personal Resilience In My Life

There are many ways and forms to recover from difficulties. A typical person can avoid, overlook or even cry about their everyday struggles. I, like everyone else, have the same ways. My personal resilience is built up by my emotional, spiritual, psychological, and cultural roots. Emotionally, I cry.
