Hope you had a happy birthday, Stephen! You definitely sound like a modern elder in this post. :-) I absolutely appreciated the cultural take on resilience. Perhaps the most memorable line I learned in my session at the Modern Elder Academy was "Resilience buys you time. Adaptability buys you the future." A very American take on the idea. "Bouncing forward" maybe? Does resilience tie in to the Japanese concept of "ganbaru?"
