Nassim Taleb once said there are three types of people.
There are those who are fragile; when life hits them hard, they break.
Then there are resilient people; they can take the hit, but eventually, they too might crack.
And finally, there are the antifragile—those who get knocked down, who are brought to their knees by life, but stand back up stronger. With each setback, each blow, each wound, they only grow tougher.
Today, my son showed me he’s antifragile. He faced adversity and managed to find a greater lesson in it.
He took his weakness and turned it into strength.
And while today I’m speaking especially about him, this message isn’t just for him.
My whole family is filled with antifragile people.
I just wanted to take a moment to express how proud I am of each and every one of them.
