I have shown and demonstrated resilience in times of financial lack. Such times when there is no money to purchase some basic needs were really disturbing. I have been able to navigate such situations and easily bounce back. Such periods, I could engage in a small business in order to make ends meet.

Another way I have demonstrated resilience is in my decision to succeed despite the failures. I could remember going into a business and actually failing. But I never gave up. My resilient spirit kept me determined and optimistic. Such times were fustrating and depressing but as one who has developed resilience in the inner fabrics of his life, it became very easy to overcome such difficult time.
