Resilience helps people to copy adversities in many areas of life. Resilient people recover faster from the death of spouse, survive from earthquake, and rise from poor conditions of childhood. Hardiness, locus of control and extraversion are personality traits in the hard core of resilience. Training can improve both individual and team resilience. But it requires a continuous and anticipative work. My conclusion is that resilience means different things in different contexts.
