He was one of six astronauts that flew to Mars. When the crew is forced to abandon the mission Mark gets separated from the crew and gets left behind. He grows potatoes with his botany powers and jerry-rigs billion dollar NASA equipment. In the book Watney almost kills himself 5 times but he knows that if he gives up then he is dead, so every time he fails or messes up he re-motivates him to find a way to survive. If he gives up it is the same as committing suicide even though you physically don't take your own life.

Resilience is important because without the ability to overcome difficult tasks George Washington would have never been able to cross the delaware river. This is an issue that is not solved but a life skill that needs to be learned by everyone. If you master the skill than you can push through difficult time with relative ease. ]]> 2017-12-12 03:29:55 UTC https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215273612 20caulfields https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215654844 2017-12-13 01:27:32 UTC https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215654844 20caulfields https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215656964 DUH.......

And, since the prolific inventor was awarded more than 1,000 patents, it's easy to imagine him failing on a daily basis in his lab at Menlo Park." This quote demonstrates that all the good things in life didn't come easily ]]> 2017-12-13 01:56:08 UTC https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215657122 20caulfields https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215669680 An article by Independant.co.uk on loneliness shows that people who say that they are "lonely" react differently to negative words differently than people who say that they aren't lonely.]]> 2017-12-13 04:38:58 UTC https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215669680 20caulfields https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215669910 sciencemag.org says that elders that have little contact with other people have a high rate of death. that does not have to do with other factors. ]]> 2017-12-13 04:42:49 UTC https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215669910 20caulfields https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215843080 “Developing Resilience: Overcoming and Growing from Setbacks.” Bounce Back from Setbacks with MindTools.Com, www.mindtools.com/pages/article/resilience.htm.]]> 2017-12-13 15:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215843080 20caulfields https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215843427 Richards, Victoria. “Loneliness makes your brain work differently, study shows.” The Independent, Independent Digital News and Media, 12 Nov. 2015, www.independent.co.uk/news/science/loneliness-makes-your-brain-work-differently-study-shows-a6732056.html.]]> 2017-12-13 15:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215843427 20caulfields https://padlet.com/20caulfields/2r6gr4c43p8s/wish/215843586 Traci WatsonMar. 25, 2013 , 3:35 PM, et al. “The Dangers of Too Much Alone Time.” Science | AAAS, 9 Dec. 2017, www.sciencemag.org/news/2013/03/dangers-too-much-alone-time.
