Job 14:1,2
“MAN BORN OF WOMAN IS OF FEW
DAYS AND FULL OF TROUBLE. HE
SPRINGS UP LIKE A FLOWER AND
WITHERS AWAY; LIKE A FLEETING
SHADOW, HE DOES NOT ENDURE.”
Reader’s Digest, December 2000, page 13
Bouncing Back
How you handle adversity in the workplace has much more impact on your career than how you handle the good stuff. When pessimistic people run into obstacles in the workplace, in relationships or in sports, they give up. When optimistic people encounter obstacles, they try harder.
The people who know how to overcome adversity are the ones who rise to the top of the organisation. – Martin Seligman, quoted by HEATH ROW in Fast Company
