“Where There’s a Will There’s a Way” by Anna Harrington, is an article about how resilience training in a “common workplace” could help companies survive economic hardship by keeping employees mentally fit. I feel that this article is, for lack of a better term, ridiculous. Harrington states, “According to the CIPD’s absence report in 2011, one employee in five admits to absence that has not been caused by “genuine” ill health (Harrington, 2012, p.1). I completely disagree. As someone who works full time at a very busy law firm Monday-Friday 8:30am – 5:00pm, going to Bethel University on my downtime and working in a hospital emergency department on the weekend if I call in it’s because I am tired and need rest.

Crystal,
You have a point. I totally understand where you are coming from. We all handle situations differently and how we handle those situations if we handle them determines our health, mental status and level of success.

If we don't finish the things we start because we are blind sided by outside forces and issues then we are not resilient. If there is something I know it is that life will always bring you more than you counted on and we have to be able to get past it and move forward.
