Resilient people recognize that no matter how bad the circumstances are, their situation could always be worse. They don't allow themselves to exaggerate how terrible their problems are, and they don't run around predicting how much worse things are going to get. Instead, they view failure with an accurate perspective.

When the U.S. team went on its historic run to the World Cup quarter-finals in 2002, I was thirteen years old.
