To earn a PhD requires resilience. Therefore, if one shows resilience, they earn a PhD.
Makes it clear that this is confusing suff. for necess.: showing resilience doesn't mean they earn a PhD.
Keep it simple: Think about this:
Only Arabic-speakers get PhDs. Chris is an Arabic speaker. Therefore Chris gets a PhD.
If gets a PhD, then an Arabic Speaker, written
PhD->Arabic-speaker
Now here's where you don't want to mess up. It says Chris is in that "Arabic-Speaker" portion, or in other words, he's someone in the necessary condition position. But we can't work backwards. We can't say if Chris (the necessary) speaks Arabic then he gets a PhD.
It's easier to see if we use three topics, as it builds on earlier lessons:
A->B->C
We can't say "if C, then B"
