“Human societies train people to "keep a stiff upper lip" and to "be strong" by which they mean the person should endure negative emotions. This is bad advice. Several branches of science have been studying human thriving. The results, when compiled, point to the fact that people thrive when they feel emotionally good and suffer when they do not.” SufferingResilienceGritThrivingBe StrongStiff Upper LipHardinessNegative Emotion Author:Jeanine Joy, Ph.D.
“The very nature of education encourages group think and a fear of getting it wrong. When you read what great leaders throughout history have said, the willingness to take risks and be wrong is what leads to their eventual success. The thing that separates those who become great leaders and those who don’t is that great leaders are resilient. When their plans do not work out they try again. They don’t stop trying until they meet with success.” SuccessLeadershipFailureResilienceGreat Leaders Author:Jeanine Joy, Ph.D.
