Ah. Given that the collocations that go along with resilience are growth mindset/perseverance/embrace mistakes/frame areas of growth as learning opportunities among Singaporeans, it’s refreshing for me to see resilience and stoic mentioned in the same vein

It also makes me realise what I have been missing. I have been pretty non-plussed in regard to my daughter’s tantrums, but I get myself overly stirred by my fifth graders’ lack of seriousness toward their studies. I need to be more STOIC toward them!
