Building a career can be stressful, and no one has ever succeeded without facing some setbacks. That’s why resilience is such a useful workplace tool. Resilience means controlling your ego, not panicking in the face of a problem, and having the patience and ability to stay focused on long-term goals. Resilience can help you weather storms, remain steady and make rational decisions instead of being driven by emotion.


Books Are Fun is bridging the literacy gap and building our student’s home libraries with Book Blast. We are inspiring more lifelong readers by putting at least one new, popular book in the hands of every student at your school. It’s our mission and our guarantee. Books Are Fun has been committed to bringing the hottest books to adults and children across the United States for more than 30 years. For every Book Blast held in Illinois, we will donate $100 to support the IPA’s Member Assistance Program.
