Did you know that the Great Pyramid (one of the three) at Giza is built with roughly 2.3 million stones that average around 5000lbs each. This means if a stone was placed perfectly in its place every five minutes on the five minutes seven days a week, three hundred and sixty-five days per year with no breaks. It would take roughly twenty years to build one of the three pyramids.

What happens when you kick a vase down the stairs? Yeah, it shatters. As a result, the vase (and its utility) is ruined. We call this fragile.
For fragile things, negative external stimulus is damaging to the organism or thing or system.
What then is Antifragile?
It’s the kind of vase where you kick it down the stairs and it gets better! That’s a cool trick, right?
Antifragile organisms, things, and systems actually benefit from negative external stimulus. In fact, your body and mind are antifragile! Stressors that we survive lead to positive adaptation.
