How do we overcome life's difficulties? Mark Katz has some answers...
Mark was another EXCELLENT speaker at the 2000 Moebius Syndrome conference...
Many adults with Moebius have shared with others just how difficult life has been, at times, for them. Despite these difficult experiences, many people seem to 'move on' ... becoming successful adults that have 'beaten the odds'. How did they do that? What lessons can be learned?
Many happy and productive adults grew up under difficult conditions that they couldn't change no matter how hard they tried. Some struggled with learning and attention problems and yet found a way to succeed. What were the secrets of their resiliency? Drawing upon research examining life's trajectories, Mark Katz identifies sources of protection, strength, and understanding--the cards that enable some children to "beat the odds." His insights will enable disadvantaged individuals and families to validate the pain they've endured--and to celebrate their resilience |
