**We Need to Do Something About Student Writing**

Liza Libes

“_Most of my students, of course, are not training to create the next Great American Novel. Most of my students will continue on to secure professions in tech, medicine, law, or business. But every one of these students will benefit from good communication skills—and every one of these students is currently being failed by an education system that deemphasizes reading and writing._”

"Resilience is learned. Not just taught" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Lessons from my family: It's all about attitude management, proactive anticipation, courage restoration, resourcefulness, decisive action, agile thinking, maintaining optimism, and reframing trends as opportunities rather than threats.

I have so much to learn from my sons and daughters-in-law!

I'm reflecting on this today as the youngest of my two sons turns 30. Here's on the far right in the photo.

While I spend a lot of time on a lot of stages speaking about resilience, I've had the opportunity to witness the development of resilience firsthand with the evolution of their careers and lives.

Each of them has faced some type of significant career challenge at some point in their lives. Rather than giving into despair, I've watched as they've nurtured themselves with hope, determination, and action. The spirit they've shown through these times has taught me something about myself and has offered me lessons on how I too can nurture my spirit of resilience.

Here's what I've seen - as their careers underwent the typical - and sometimes untypical - twists and turns of life, they never gave up. They never gave in. They fought back. In doing so, they become the fountain of wisdom that has helped to nurture my soul, feed my optimism, and fuel my determination. When I talk about resilience in my keynotes, I often draw from global business examples.

But today, I want to share something more personal - how my sons and daughters-in-law have embodied the resilience principles I've advocated for years.

Here's what I've learned.

**#Resilience** **#Action** **#Attitude** **#Growth** **#Perseverance** **#Family** **#Learning** **#Adaptation** **#Opportunity** **#Determination**

Male rats showed long-term impairment in learning, exploration, and rapid decision-making after heavy alcohol exposure for a month. Female rats did not show the same level of impairment.

After 2 months as a "teacher," my 9yo finally read, understood & implemented a task alone. Teaching how to grasp requirements is so hard—wild how I once learned it myself. The gap between us is fascinating—but it shrinks a little every day. Watching it happen is just amazing!
