The Two Bricks of Resilience
- The First Brick: This represents the external challenges we face in public settings.
We must cultivate resilience while navigating chaos, all while maintaining kindness. - The Second Brick: This symbolizes the internal work we must undertake. We need to be resilient amidst our own internal conflicts, which often arise from the kinship formed within our departments.
