Jon "Big Show" Mengering
Big Show is resilient because:
- He was an oddity and had to deal with adversity which made him resilient
"So, imagine if you will, an intelligent, glass wearing, larger than everyone else kid, oh lest I forget, for much of my life I walked as if I had two left feet, didn't talk much because I was unsure of myself, so yeah you could say I was resilient by necessity more so than anything else."
Jack "Bones" Heeney
I am resilient because:
- I never let anything bother me
- I push through adversity with ease
"just remember that with every problem you can’t go over it, you can’t go around it, you can’t go under it, so you gotta go through it."
