Abstract
Eleanor Roosevelt said” You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do.” Countering difficulties makes people feel frustrated thus to lose hopes and brightness. But after a period of time recovering, people will have an ability to stand up again, called resilience. This study wants to discover the recovering path of Mr. Ruei-he Li, the founder of Ten Ren’s Tea and Ten Fu’s Tea. Using the resilience structure and resilience cycle developed by Patterson & Kelleher, as well as discussing the interaction between Li’s ability and environmental opportunities, this study shows a whole picture of resilience,hoping every reader can learn and inspire his/her own potential afterwards. This study shows that flexibility, opportunity identification, resource exploitation, and professional capability are four types of Li’s major capabilities which fit the outer environment well and lead to further success in business. Since everyone has different recovering path, resilience studies should broaden its coverage scope to position, time span, external environment, the interpretation of failure, culture, or nationality to make relative research more complete and comprehensive.
