3. Failure to them is an opportunity to learn. They understand that failure is a normal occurrence when one strives for success.

Instead of struggling with a project or other situation on their own, they look to the wisdom others can provide to overcome any issues in a timely manner.
9. Individuals with mental strength, trust that situations always work out as needed.
