1. Resilient people bounce back and don't quit or give up as easily as those not resilient. Thus, success is more assured. Adaptable people can thrive and progress in difficult circumstances, and tend to get ahead, when less adaptable people won't. They take advantage of what they can, not just the obvious.
2. When you're adaptable you embrace the fact of what's going to happen in the future which lets you prepare for whats to happen and it makes you successful when you know what your doing
3. When a resilient individual encounters a problem they are often drawn to use their aptitude to prevent the problem. A equation for self-esteem S-E= Success/Expectations. This would mean that we are as successful where we draw the lines of hopes and dreams. “I want the world to know what we know: We are brave, we are resilient, and we will prevail.” - Kathleen Blanco

5. success does not always mean happiness, and if happiness is the point of a person's life, that resilience and adaptability are not the keys to being a heretic. Instead, they make a person stronger, and more understanding. And what truly is the meaning of happiness in life? There are many extensions and degrees of happiness, so there is no straight way to gain it, but I think that the only way that having such qualities can bring happiness, is looking back at those who do not have said traits, and the difference between the two people's lives.
