Resilience (from the latin resilio or go back) is a term that was originally used by engineering to define capacity that has a material to regain its shape after being subjected to a distorting pressure. In the seventies of the last century the positive psychology he joined his doctrinaire identifying as resilient to all individuals that face the adversity, develops a strong fighting spirit and adaptation that allows you to rebuild and develop valuable proposals for the future for him and others.

An of human typologies that arouses more interest to biographers or filmmakers is that one of those characters who have built their lives from a single law: always lift once more than those that have fallen.

Empathy: The orientation towards the understanding of the circumstances that affect others.
Critical and analytical thinking: analysis of the causes of adversity and the definition of their solutions. Perseverance: Maintenance firm on the necessary actions for the achievement of the proposed objectives. Be resilient, more than a virtue, is today a necessity before this complex reality which does not make anything easier and requires much to those who had forgotten that life is nothing more than a roller coaster, whose final will always coincide with the principle by many and vertiginous sobrevividos subeybajas.
