Resilience is well demonstrated by the rubber band. Stretched to the limit, it rebounds back without any defects. However, if you do it too often or subject it to repeated stress or unfavourable storage condition, it will deteriorate and snap. It is a metaphor to illustrate resilience, patience and steadfastness. Adopt its characteristics and you too will be able to bounce back when met with any challenge or adversity in life. Being resilient differentiates you from the rest.
