Meaning
This reads as a definition of resilience that includes renewal, not just endurance. It points to the idea that real energy is visible when a person can recover, change course, and begin again after loss or failure. It lands in a season of disruption, when continuing is not enough and the harder task is to restart with some faith intact.

About F. Scott Fitzgerald
American novelist, essayist, and short story writer
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald, known as F. Scott Fitzgerald or Scott Fitzgerald, was an American novelist, essayist, and short story writer. He became associated with the Jazz Age, and his fiction is closely tied to its glamour, restlessness, and excess. He published four novels, four story collections, and 164 short stories. He also helped popularize the phrase “Jazz Age” in his collection Tales of the Jazz Age. He found brief success and wealth in the 1920s, but wider critical recognition came only after his death.
