3. The GLORY within us We are born to make manifest The GLORY that is within us. It is not just in some of us, It is in everyone of us. And as we let our lights shine, We unconsciously give other people The right to do the same. Nelson Mandela 3

4. The Belief Resiliency building is a positive, strengths-based approach to youth development. It is process based on the findings of extensive research and on the belief that “All people have an inherent capacity to overcome adversity in their lives.” 4

5. Defining Resilience Resilience is an ability to perform well during and after the adverse event. WHO, 1994 Resilience has been defined as an aptitude to successfully adapt in a positive way to adverse circumstances. Zakeri, Jowkar, & Razmjoee, (2010). .   The way humans experience emotions and exercise cognitive faculties in earliest life shed vital impacts on their later life functioning Kandel, (1998). But the empirical evidence suggests that response to adverse circumstances varies from person to person. 5

6. Challenges This is the age of information overload. Our education system is challenged by fast changing global realities and it is causing unprecedented pressure over schools and parents to prepare their children for better future. Above all, it has put students under severe burden of academically smarter performance. The burden on little souls is hard to carry. Students are facing multiple pressures which are adversely affecting their personalities. The challenges students face are many since their early childhood like communicating emotions, disagreement with friends, celebrating victories, facing defeats, study pressures etc. Youth are also challenged by Emotion management, Ego balance, Relationship management, Risk assessment etc. 6

9. Mechanisms to respond the obstacles To cope up these challenges, minor or major; youth need to exercise their responses positively. The mechanisms to respond to the obstacles are innate but students need to learn skills to how to appropriately exercise those responses. The way people show resilience varies from person to person and even may vary in different situations by the same person. The single most common factor for children/adults who develop resilience is at least one stable and committed relationship with parent, caregiver or any adult. National Scientific Council on the Developing Child. (2015). 9

12. Persistence matters A brilliant chap may become a successful adult achieving attractive positions but he would lead a mechanic life, deprived of enjoying holistic life and a sense of self-fulfillment. Even a minor failure of their life may cause their personality collapse. But on the contrary, an average adult with higher emotional intelligence may embrace the odds of life with courage and persistence. 12

13. Return on Investment Model The program is offered because it is both results oriented and cost effective. Individuals must be able to focus, plan ahead, avoid distractions, and shift their behavior according to the emerging demands and rules of work and family responsibilities. When these skills are not developed or compromised by adversities our society pays its price in the shape of dropping out of school, poor academic performance, low economic productivity, health burden and social disintegration, the factors impeding the national development. Hackman & Master (2007) have highlighted the importance of Return on Investment model in early intervention being successful for both short term and long term benefits while Belfield et al (2015) estimated that the cost of evidence based resilience enhancement programs is overshadowed by the academic smarter performance and social functioning with the ratio of 11 to 1. 13

14. Institutional Model Parallel to individual capacity enhancement, school environment and learning climate has similar impacts on their performance. Assessment of school climate model examines four aspects i.e Empathy (feeling cared for), Accountability (sense of follow-through) Respect (considerate behavior), and Trust (belief in the people and institution). These factors are highly predictive of three tangible outcomes: Connectedness , Learning , and Safety (Freedman & Jensen, 2008). Freedman (2003) furthers the idea by validating that the longer the intervention programs the higher are expected outcomes. 14

15. The Six Seconds Model of Emotional Intelligence Know Yourself : Self-awareness Clearly noticing what you feel and do. Emotions are data, and this pursuit allows you to accurately collect that information. 2. Choose Yourself : Self-management Doing what you mean to do. Instead of reacting “on autopilot,” this pursuit encourages you to proactively respond to make conscious, careful decisions. 3. Give Yourself : Self-direction Doing it for a reason. This pursuit helps you put your most important commitments into action so you unlock your full power and potential. 15

16. A million $$$ question Can we eliminate adversities/problems/worries etc ? 16

17. So, its better preparing the person to face adversities with GRACE rather than focusing on problems. 17

18. Sweet are the uses of adversity. (Shakespeare) 18

21. How can we build resilience? Dr. Napoléon Hills child was born with a natural deformity. He didn’t have ears. Everyone including doctors told him that the child will be deaf/mute. But Napoléon resisted accepting the suggestions of people around. He would talk to the child daily with a belief that he would one day listen. To a surprise after certain age, the child stated hearing and talking. The doctors were shocked as they had examined the child thoroughly and found no ear sign. Till that times it was not discovered that one can hear through bones. It was the miracle of faith and hope and never-to-surrender mindedness. 21
