• Resilient (adjective): recovering quickly from difficulties; able to withstand adversity
• Synonyms include strong, tough, flexible, persistent, unbreakable
• Antonyms include fragile, weak, defeated, vulnerable, brittle
• Atticus Finch embodies resilience by defending Tom Robinson despite knowing the personal cost
• Real courage isn't loud but steady—showing up when others walk away
• True resilience means maintaining your values even when facing adversity
• Four contextual examples demonstrate how to use "resilient" in various situations
• Moral courage involves doing what's right, not what's easy
