Resilience Lessons

Was on a walk this evening and stumbled across this plaque that sits right in front of my old Applied Resilience classroom, the Cal Memorial Stadium (Yes, that class used to take place in one of the small rooms on the ground floor of the stadium).

What a great quote to be in front of a class that's literally trying to teach resilience. A great reminder for me too. Sadly the class is no longer going to happen in the stadium, but I feel this plaque and the stadium were the spirit of that class. What's a better reminder than sports that failure is inevitable, and so is the redemption that follows that.

Also, reminded me of my dad, he was a very resilient person; saw and overcame many failures in his lifetime, and sometimes it'd be his words of encouragement that would be enough for me to overcome my own struggles. Miss him every day.
