Resilience | Bounce Back!

After I saw A.R. Bernard in Asia Conference at Singapore, I haven't stopped patronizing him. I am one of the avid followers in twitter (@arbernard), retweeting them and shouting them out in Facebook. I don't think that was enough, I'm dedicating a post for him here in my blog.

Here's his latest tweet as of this writing:

"Resilience is the ability to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions or situations. It's an attribute of successful people."

Based on dictionary.com , Resilience is defined as "the power or ability to return to the original form, position, etc., after being bent, compressed, or stretched;"

And truly, he's not saying this because he'd read it somewhere. He's saying this because he himself experienced it.

A.R. Bernard, to start was an unwanted child. His father rejected his mother when he learned his mother got pregnant. His mother might have somewhat hated having him when she got kicked out of her scholarship because of her pregnancy. Thankfully the uncle who happens to be a pastor was kind enough to take them in and cared for them. Taught him and made him grow which served as solid foundations to whoever he is right now.

Who is he now?

"Recognized as a New Influential – 25 Leaders Reshaping New York (Crain’s New York Business, September 2008); Most Influential NY Clergyman (NY Daily News, February 2008); Most Influential African American New Yorker (NY Post, February 2008); New York’s Most Influential (NY Magazine, 2006); Bernard was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by Consulate General of Israel in NY in conjunction with the Jewish Community Relations Council and, Jewish National Fund. He has been personally cited in the Congressional Records." from arbernard.com

I just wanted this message to be sent out to all my readers and email subscribers:

"If you want to be successful, BE RESILIENT! 
Bounce Back! 
Don't give up! 
Whatever you're going through right now, it's part of the stretching to bring you to your Highest Potential! 
Keep coming back! 
God Loves You Much Much!"
