Bouncing Back

By John Patterson

A Blueprint for Resilience

Cast aside visions of cinematic underdogs; our narrative is grounded in the realistic, gritty play-practice-prevail interpretation of the failure-success saga. Indeed, the journey to success is strewn with missteps. That’s not particularly earth-shattering, is it? But before you offer a round of half-hearted applause, realize resilience isn't about recovering from despair. It's about adorning failures like medals of valor, woven into the very fabric of one's well-tailored offer.

The truth is that only action differentiates armchair theorists from real-world tacticians. In the crucible of experience, assumptions are tested: they are either validated or modified, leaving behind 'knowledge' that, until tested, is an untried hypothesis. Measurement becomes the coveted key to the backstage, where strategies are refined and perfected—without which, we're gamblers shrouded in darkness, hoping for a stroke of luck.
