This is the first time, I am reading the thoughts of Sheryl Sandberg, COO, Facebook.

Following lines made me determined to reach at the last page.

“We also know that not every story has a happy ending. Recovery doesn’t start from the same place for everyone. War, violence, and systematic sexism and racism decimate lives and communities. Discrimination, disease, and poverty cause and worsen tragedy. The sad truth is that adversity is not evenly distributed among us; marginalised and disenfranchised groups have more to battle and more to grieve.”

“Resilience is the strength and speed of our response to adversity-and we can build it. It is not about having a backbone. It’s about strengthening the muscles around our backbone.”

Before starting this book, I never thought about the word RESILIENCE as deeply in my life! This book hits on some of my core beliefs and philosophies, I must say!
