Perseverance and Resilience

Many would agree that Perseverance and Resilience are two sides of the same coin and constitute two of the great quiet qualities that everyone needs in both their personal and professional lives.

It is only natural for us to encounter challenges and hurdles and hinder our progress and there will be times when we are knocked back or knocked down, perhaps many times and it is at these times, that we need our Resilience to withstand the knocks and then the perseverance to pick ourselves up again and push forward.

Many successful people have illustrated this with their quotes, including Michael Jordan, the basketball star who illustrated how he used both traits to help achieve his success (look it up)

So, its important for each individual to develop these, it won't be easy and its not meant to be, in some ways they are the ultimate test of character.
