Profiles in Resilience has been inspired by the crisis wrought by the Covid-19 pandemic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn spite of their humble beginnings – some beset by abject poverty – the 20 individuals featured in the book are able to emerge as accomplished leaders in their fields, through sheer diligence, perseverance and dare. They have been senior civil servants, corporate leaders, university professors, and even a top motor racer and fashionista. The universal thread that weaves the tapestry of their resilience is indefatigability. Verily, the post-pandemic era will require reimagining not just how to rebuild our economy – or even lives – but more urgently, envisioning what social and mental capital can create. It starts with distinguishing what truly matters – human relationships and our care for planet earth.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e“I find this book inspiring because many of the writers were born very poor, (yet) they rise to the top of their vocations . . . I am struck by the good values which they all uphold – integrity, compassion and optimism.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e—Tommy Koh, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessor of Law, National University of Singapore, Ambassador-at-Large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMr Abdullah Tarmugi \u003c\/strong\u003eis Former Speaker of Parliament, and Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports and the Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs. In January 2012, Abdullah was appointed to the Presidential Council for Minority Rights by Singapore President Tony Tan and a Permanent Member by President Halimah Yacob. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProfessor Kua Ee Heok\u003c\/strong\u003e is the Tan Geok Yin Professor in Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the National University of Singapore, and Consultant Psychiatrist at Mind Care Clinic, Farrer Park Medical Centre.
