resilience
/ɹə.zɪl.ɪ.əns/
In most contexts, resilience is used as an uncountable noun. You generally do not say "resiliences" when referring to a person's strength. While it can be used for physical materials (like rubber), it is much more common in modern English to describe a person's mental or emotional strength.

🎬Tuesday afternoon, Fatima is in the library while Maya is at a cafe.
Fatima
I'm totally burnt out. I can't handle another setback with this thesis.
Maya
Stop spiraling. You have the resilience to pull through this, just keep grinding.
💡
Maya uses 'resilience' as a reality check for Fatima's stress. The phrase 'burnt out' is common slang for exhaustion, and 'pull through' is a phrasal verb meaning to recover from a difficult situation.
