| Abstract: | Philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) succinctly captured a profound truth about human nature in his famous phrase, “anything that doesn’t kill me makes me stronger.” This statement emphasises the resilient nature of the human mind when paired with a determined heart, enabling individuals to overcome disappointments, setbacks, stress, and sorrow throughout their life journey. Numerous artists and pop singers have consistently employed this concept to inspire those who have left toxic relationships, suffered from bullying, defeated depression, conquered cancer or addiction, survived mental or sexual abuse, and those who have contemplated suicide. In this sense, resilience equips individuals with essential virtues to lead extraordinary lives, such as optimism, faith, self-determination, and creativity. |
