Everywhere this same certainty of escape

Boris Cyrulnik, "resilience is the art of navigating through torrents." Some people, some companies have in-house capabilities of resilience, and other non. Beyond technical tools, adjustments that will implement the actors of the current crisis, it must be attentive to this non-technical capacity of companies to rebound and to not be drawn on the natural slope of the trauma.

New York is, precisely, "resilient". Look at this community, by examining this intangible DNA, and quasi non-measurable, society of trust. Wall Street is at the bottom! The big names in finance are down! The city should be collapsed, traumatized, because 40 of its economy, its engine is the financial sphere, which to graft the accompaniment of the headquarters (men of law, advice, control). The city is its real estate, its theatres, restaurants, private universities, his philanthropy, which, all, depend on the increase in the flow of money. The city is the capital of fashion, advertising, media, sensitive to the extreme to the strength of the consumer. And yet, in New York, there is still small, but essential confidence signals: the good mood, smiles everywhere posted, the optimism of the words. In December, we had the opportunity to attend annual celebrations organized by companies, JP Morgan for the children of the House managers, Google for its executives.

We also met one of the greatest professionals of the city. For him, the situation cannot be more serious. Of course, effects on real estate are still to come.

The middle classes will not be excluded the resumption. The new President is exceptionally intelligent. New York will play the game.

One of these major philanthropists, which subsidizes the theatre in some rooms the thousands in the city, looking in her long memory of New York life the word would define the best the city. "Vitality", proposes.

1929-2008, Paul Claudel helps us to make the hyphen. In 1936, he wrote: "there is a quality that translated there by the word"resiliency", for which I do not find corresponding English in American temperament correct, because it unites the ideas of elasticity, spring, resource and good mood." I have seen America at the end of the Hoover Presidency, one of the most tragic hours of its history, when all banks had closed and that economic life was suspended. Anxiety chest hearts, but the gaiety and confidence lit all faces. Hear the words exchanged, it would have said that it was a huge joke. And if some financial threw out the window, I did help but believe that it was misleading to bounce expectancy.
