Resilience and Resistance - How to Recover

All day today I've been stumbling over quotes and articles about recovery. Maybe there is a Clairvoyant Bias that is helping me see these in preparation for something lousy to come In the absence of that they are helpful in seeing the long thread of life.

1.  Michelle Obama (Thanks @kthomas901) - “You have to try some things and grow up. It take mistakes to know what you don’t want to do. You gotta be open and explore. You have to be looking for joy and passion in your life NOT perfection.” 
2. Meghan Duffy (here) - She describes the ability to not be effected by rejection (resistance) and the ability to be deeply hurt then bounce back (resilience) 
3. Ruth Malan - The Architect's Clue Bucket (here) - This presentation is focused on architectural best practices. As with all great advice, so much applies to life. (Corollary, it is so much more interesting in tech)

"Design things to make their performance as insensitive to the unknown or uncontrollable external influence as practical" - Eb Rechtin 

Now some wisdom on resilience from the Avett Brothers, "At the Beach"

Cheers!
