Abstract
Emphasized is the hardiness approach to turning stresses into growth and development. It is important to recognize the inherently changing nature of relationships and work situations, and to immerse yourself in this. This takes the courage of hardy attitudes, and the hard work of hardy strategies. One must learn through failures as well as successes. Significant relationships need to be deepened in intimacy. Work needs to be fulfilled through what one continues to learn. In all this, neither particular relationships nor work settings need to last forever.
