    The key takeaways are about adapting to change, being comfortable with discomfort, seeing opportunities in difficulties, and relying on others for support during challenges.

    The author defines resilience as the ability of humans to respond to change and adapt in the face of setbacks. Resilience is our natural ability to overcome difficulties through adaptation.

    The author's view is that when life deals you difficulties ('lemons'), you should make the most of the situation by turning it into something positive ('lemon juice'). He also emphasizes that while we cannot control life's events, we can control how we respond to them.

    But we do control how we RESPOND to them

    Life IS going to deal you lemons.

    No one told you life was going to be easy.


    It has good and difficult moments.

    The question isn’t how many or how difficult


    they are - the question is how you will
    respond?

    When life deals you lemons, make lemon


    juice.
    You are in control of how you respond.

    Your best ability is ADAPTABILITY

    We are always adapting and improving.


    Practice this skill.

    “It is not the strongest of the species that
    “Computers are useless.
    survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one
    most responsive to change.”
    They can only give you - Charles Darwin

    We’ve all hadanswers.”


    setbacks, we’ve all adapted and
    overcome. This is the definition of resilience.

    Humans respond to change and adapt.

    - Pablo Picasso
    You are resilient, you sometimes simply
    forget how resilient you REALLY are.

    because life is never predictable.

    After this Storm. There will be another Storm.


    Storm.

    Never expect waters to be always calm.


    There will always be both comfortable and
    uncomfortable times.

    Enjoy the calm sunny days and prepare for


    the stormy waters.

    You are the master of your boat.

    There is always something you can do.


    There is always an opportunity to grow from
    failure, a mistake or difficult situation.

    You simply have to never quit and keep


    searching for the opportunity to improve.

    Come back better and more beautiful than before.

    On tough days, we all need someone

    Even the toughest people have tougher days.

    No one gets through life alone.


    Sometimes its for support, sometimes it’s for
    honest feedback.

    On tough days you lean on family and friends.


    On their tough days they lean on you.
