# Simerjeet Singh on the 5 Habits That Make You Unshakeable | The Science of Bouncing Back ## Метаданные - **Канал:** Simerjeet Singh - **YouTube:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Fb6PNlVtlc - **Источник:** https://ekstraktznaniy.ru/video/31903 ## Транскрипт ### Segment 1 (00:00 - 05:00) [] Friends, the dictionary definition of resilience is the capacity to withstand or recover quickly from difficulties and setbacks. And it's also defined as the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape after it's been knocked down. In other words, it's elasticity. In everyday language, resilience is your bounce back ability. That is, how quickly do you bounce back after setbacks? It's that spring in your step after life knocks you down flat on your back. In fact, the Japanese have a term that describes it beautifully. It's called nana korobi yaoki. Nana korobi yaoki which literally translates beautifully and poetically into fall seven times stand up eight. And that my friends is resilience. That proverb best sums up the essence of resilience to pull yourself together and to get back into action after setbacks. You see, resilience is not about avoiding difficulties. It's not about running away from difficulties or shielding yourself from difficulties. It's about becoming the kind of person who grows stronger through difficulty. Resilient folks grow through whatever they go through. And that's going to be the slogan of this video to grow through whatever you go through. So the question is why is resilience a key skill of the future? Why have we included resilience in the future skills series? It's because we human beings we've had a few very comfortable decades. We've been enjoying the fruits of the industrial revolution. you know, cost of goods falling down, consumerism, globalization, com era, internet era, social media, and we've been very comfortable. And guess what? Now AI and automation are knocking on the door. Change is not just knocking on the door, it's already inside the door, and it's here to shake things up beyond recognition. You see, my friends, my father's generation could work one job for 35, 40 years. That's what my dad did. He worked for 40 years from the Punjab government and he traveled all his life and he served the state with all his heart and they would get annual increments and promotions and they could retire comfortably and enjoy their retirement with a pension without any constant fear of layoffs or restructuring. But our world, your world and my world, it's no longer stable nor predictable. We live in a world of constant layoffs, restructurings, reskilling, gig work, freelance work, side hustles, multiple careers, startups, and solopreneurs, and so much more. And that's why the World Economic Forum calls resilience as one of the top 10 skills for 2025 and beyond. Because disruption is no longer the exception, it's the new norm. Disruption is the new norm. and resilience ought to be your superpower in this new era. You see, this video and the suggestions that I offer in this video are deeply personal to me because resilience isn't something I've just read about in a book and created a script for this video. It's been my constant companion, my friends. Resilience has been my constant companion through setbacks and delays and weights and disappointments and uncertainty and rejections. Whether it was stepping into the unknown in this new career in 2007 when I walked away from a safe secure hospitality career that I carefully built across five countries to leave everything behind to return back to India to pursue my current dream or whether it was when I had to relocate back from the US all of a sudden in my very first job just as my career was about to take off due to my father's cancer. you know, all of these uh during all of these situations, all of these testing times, resilience was what helped me bounce back every single time. And resilience is what will sustain you, my friends. When talent, intelligence, luck, or strategy alone will not be enough, you will need the skill of the future called resilience, which is your ability to bounce back from setbacks. So stay with me throughout this video as we explore five practical ways in which you can become more resilient in these changing times. And I'll also add a surprise bonus towards the end. And all of these tips are drawn from my personal life experiences. So without much further ado, let's get started right into tip number one, which is having a strong future pull. That's right. Tip number one for building resilience is to create a strong future pull. And here's what I mean by creating a future pull. You see ### Segment 2 (05:00 - 10:00) [5:00] life is a long war made up of many little battles. And often you will lose a battle or you lose many battles. But in order for you to win the war, you'll need to bounce back up quickly. You you'll get knocked down. Things won't go your way. But if you have a strong vision, my friends, even if it's blurry at the moment, even if the vision is vague at the moment, if you have a strong vision, a sense of where you're headed, a sense of what you want to achieve, these little losses, these losing these little battles, it won't matter because the bigger picture, the future pull will inspire you to put yourself back together again, to rebuild yourself, and to move forward once again. the psychologist Victor Frankl who survived the horrors of the concentration camps and I strongly suggest you read his book it's called man's search for meaning and he said these powerful words he said those who have a why to live can bearer almost anyh how if you know your why am I doing why am I struggling why am I working hard every day you can go through any how challenge and that's future pull your why. Discovering your why. And this is not just philosophy, my friends. It's researchbacked. A McKenzie study on peak performance found out that people with a clear sense of purpose, purpose are five times more resilient in the face of setbacks. So find your sense of purpose. Gallup reports that employees who connect daily tasks to a bigger mission like my team can connect their daily tasks to the bigger mission of making the world a better place. Gallup reports that employees who are able to do that is connect their daily routine tasks to a bigger mission show higher engagement and less burnout. I can vouch for this from my personal experience. You see my journey wasn't cushioned and you've heard the stories. I've washed cars while I was studying at university in Sydney, even if it was for a couple of weeks. I've waited tables. I've been a security guard. I've manned gas stations. These were not glamorous jobs. And I didn't have to do them. I chose to do them. And you've heard them about these stories in different videos. And often during going through these challenging times, I'd ask myself, why am I doing this? You know why? Because I had a picture in my mind of the person I could become in the future, wanted to become in the future. I have this sense of knowing deep down that bigger things are waiting for me, lined up for me. And even if this picture was sometimes vague or blurry, it pulled me back every time I went off track. The speaker you see today on YouTube and other places, the Simmerjit Singh that you know today, he's been through that struggle and uncertainty except whenever I went off track, I was pulled forward by a vision of my better self. And that my friends is a power of a future pull. Perhaps best described by the ancient yoga guru Patangali who said when you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds. Your mind transcends limitations. Your consciousness expands in every direction. You find yourself in a new great and wonderful world. dormant forces, faculties and talents come alive and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be. That's future pull. And here are a few practical ways to develop a strong future pull. I suggest you write down and visualize your ideal future self. every day your ideal future self. Imagine in great detail how that future person, the future you, how does he talk, how does he walk, how much does he earn, how is he contributing to society, what's his health like, what are his relationships like? Make that image so real and so compelling and so magnetic that even when you fall back, even when you feel miserable, that future self pulls you right back up. This is how you are inspiring yourself, not just motivating. See, motivation can be temporary. It's about a push. Inspiration is the pull. And this vision of the future self is the pull that you need. Recall this image every day. Create a little movie in your head when you're in the gym, when you're commuting. Just put on some good music and think about it every single day and affirm to yourself every day. Repeat to ### Segment 3 (10:00 - 15:00) [10:00] yourself. I look forward to each day with eagerness and excitement and enthusiasm of the opportunities that lie in this day. Each day is a new adventure. start. I look forward to every day because the law of attraction brings me exciting new opportunities every day. An affirmation like that will charge you up. Train your mind just like you train your body. Train your mind every day to be fueled not just by willpower. You see, willpower will only get you so far. Vision power will get you very far in life. So, train your mind to create vision power. Uh that's resilience in action. Create a future dream for yourself. All right, my friends. Tip number two to create resilience that is creating bounceback ability is to remember that there are no failures there's only feedback. Remember only feedback. Think about it. The word failure carries a very heavy weight. Failure feels like final. It feels like the end of the road that everything's come to an end. With failure comes feelings of shame and embarrassment. the feeling that you're done and the curtain has dropped and no matter what you try, you can't undo it. But there's a better way to look at it and I borrow that from NLP which is neurallinginguistic programming and which says this is one of the foundational beliefs of NLP. There are no failures only feedback. And I want you to embed this in your mind. repeat this sentence to you every single day until you start believing in it, until you start processing your so-called failures differently as feedback. When I first heard this from my NLP instructor Bruce Pharaoh in the UK while I was training for NLP, he said this one line, there are no failures. There's only feedback while he was teaching NLP. And it's stuck with me ever since so deeply that even if I had walked away with just this one sentence, it would be worthwhile the entire effort of attending the course. You see my friends, feedback is different. Feedback is alive. Feedback means the game is still on. It means you can adjust, you can correct, you can change, and you can try again. Failure is like a full stop. Feedback is like a comma. It's not the end of the sentence. It's just a pause, an opportunity to redirect your story. Or in Edison's words, I have not failed 10,000 times. I have just found 10,000 ways that do not work. How to make a light bulb. Therefore, by the process of elimination, I'm closer to my goal. If Eri would have processed every failed attempt as final, he wouldn't have ventured forward. He looked at as a feedback. Okay, this doesn't work. And the story goes that he tried everything all the way from horses, hairs, human hairs, and all those elements to see which one would fit right in the electric bulb until it finally hit. That's feedback in action. That's course correction in action. And research backs this up. A Harvard Business Review study found that organizations and leaders that reframe mistakes as learning opportunities bounce back 30% faster after setbacks. And setbacks are bound to happen in business. In entrepreneurial settings, venture capitalists often look for founders who've had setbacks because they know these experiences are the feedback that these founders need to make them sharper and stronger. Let me share my own personal story with you. You see, I applied for an MBA program to one of the world's leading business schools, ISBN Hyderabad, long ago and I didn't get in. I wasn't even called in for an interview. But instead of processing it as a failure, I took it as feedback. I started doing my inner work, my research, my meditation, exploring alternative paths, and I finally came to the conclusion that I don't need to push harder. Maybe this path is not for me. Maybe there was something better waiting. And sure enough, it led me to rediscover myself as a motivational speaker and a coach in my current role doing what I do now. Had I gone to ISB to study MBA, I probably wouldn't be doing this. In my early days of my speaking careers, we would pitch to companies and we would get a no thank you. We don't need a motivational speaker. We pay our people on time. Some might call that as failure. You know, when you approach a company and they say no. Some might process it as failure. But I would process it as feedback. I would sit down and ask why didn't this work? Maybe we're not the right match for this company. Maybe they don't need a motivational speaker right now, but ### Segment 4 (15:00 - 20:00) [15:00] how can we change? What sort of companies should we approach? How can we improve our approach? Those nos taught me more about my branding. They taught me to move from the push marketing to the pull marketing, to build stronger relationships, to network more, to increase my presence on social media and all of those things. Every rejection taught me something. Every rejection was not the end. It was just a stepping stone to something better. So, here's the mindset shift, my friends, that I'm asking you to make. Process every failure as feedback on your strategy, on your timing, on your approach, on your preparation, not about you as a person, your intellectual ability or your personality. So don't take these setbacks personally. They'll pay. If you're a cricketer, getting out for a duck isn't failure. It's feedback. It's feedback on your shot selection, your footwork, your timing. you can go back in the next game, adjust and walk out to bat again and to be in the game back again. In the workplace, if a project proposal gets rejected or if your idea gets shot down, that's not the end of your career. It's feedback to sharpen your idea, to sharpen your storytelling to align better with your boss's vision, to your company's vision. As an entrepreneur, when your products or services don't sell, it's not failure. It's feedback from the market saying, "Try again, but try again differently. " If you're single and you would like to mingle, but you're always putting potential partners off, you're not attracting the right sort of person in your life, it's not failure. Don't take it personally, right? Don't let it shatter your self-belief or your self-image. Improve your approach or approach better people. Approach the right kind of people. So remember this, there are no failures, there's only feedback. take the notes, make adjustments, and get back in the game. Because resilience is not about avoiding mistakes. It's about refusing to let those mistakes stop you. Or in the words of Confucious, a man is not great because he hasn't failed. A man is great or a person is great because failure hasn't stopped him or failure hasn't stopped her. That's resilience. All right, we now move on to tip number three, which is building healing fallback mechanisms. Creating healing fallback mechanisms, creating ways to heal yourself after you fall. Here's the truth, my friends. The world will hurt you. Especially if you're out to do good things, to help other people, you're a good person. You want to make a difference. You want to change the world, you are going to get hurt. A good purposeful life should idly come bubble wrapped like those fragile items from Amazon, but it doesn't, right? Truth is, you're going to fall. You'll get knocked down. You'll get betrayed, rejected, blindsided by things and people you didn't see coming. God bless you, but you will face these situations that will leave you shaken and broken and confused and full of doubt. So, the question is not, "Will I get hurt? " That's a given. The real question is how will I heal and how quickly can I bounce back? And this is where healing fallback mechanisms come into place. Think of them as your personal first aid kit for the soul. Just like if you go trekking, you should always have a medical kit with you. You should not go without a medical kit. Don't go through life without having a first aid kit for your soul. Um knowing what heals you. For me, it's my daily prayer and nitname routine. It's my daily affirmation. It's a gym in the evening. The workout, the music, typically playing Bollywood and uh Punjabi songs, the hellos to all the wonderful people in my gym, the sauna and the steam afterwards, the camaraderie, the sports, the socializing. It's even the little joys like the perfumes, the coffee and evening walk with the kids or playing with your pets or gardening or cultivating herbs on my rooftop and things like that. Of course, and it's also you, my audience. Some days when I'm feeling low, I do a Facebook live or sit down to write a script for you all and I feel better at the end of it than I did in the beginning. Listen, if you've worked hard to be able to do what you really love to do, your work itself will become a healing act. If you love photography and you go spend some time in photography, you you're going to heal yourself, right? Um, so this was my list and you don't have to copy my list. You must create your own. For you, it could be cycling, gardening, going outdoors, sunrise, meditation, yoga, coffee with a friend, hiking, cooking something nice. Invite me over if you do, reading a nice book, playing with your kids or your pets, sitting around a bonfire, and just doing nothing, journaling, writing your gratitude list, listening to music, or ### Segment 5 (20:00 - 25:00) [20:00] simply taking a nap. The key is have your list ready. You will need it at some stage. Know what works for you. Know what lifts you up. Don't wait for life to knock you down before you start compiling your list of how to get back up. And you know it's very important for you to understand that this is not just something I personally use and I personally believe in. Research also supports this. The American Psychological Association found out that people who engage in regular self-care practices. That's very important. Regular self-care practices, whether physical, emotional, mental, or social, they report higher resilience scores and recover faster from stress. Just like people who go to the gym on a regular basis, recover quickly from sicknesses and viral infections. Even the World Health Organization encourages building psychological recovery practices. even they understand that you're going to get knocked down and hurt. Um these are essential life skills for the future of work also because it's changing all the time. And the key is to use your healing mechanisms unapologetically. No guilt, no need for explanations. If you're running empty, refill your tank. Take the time to heal. If it costs time or money, invest in it. Go for a bike ride to do the mountains or do something. Take some time off. It's the best return on investment you will ever get. Don't complain. Don't explain. Just look after yourself. Looking after yourself is not a selfish act. That's the best gift you can give to your loved ones, to your employers, to your clients, is a healthy, healed, and hearty version of yourself. And if the blows are too big for your toolkit, if life has knocked you down really hard and you feel that none of this can work for you, please go see a coach, a counselor, a therapist, talk to someone about it. There is no shame in asking for help. But for most of the stuff, you will find that you already carry within you the ability to heal yourself and to bounce back. So that was tip number three, my friends. Identify and practice healing fallback mechanisms so you know how to pause, so you realize how to recover and you know how to come back stronger. Let's move to tip number four now. Building a daily nonnegotiable routine. It's daily, it's non-negotiable, and it's idly at the same time. That's my tip number four. to have a daily non-negotiable routine in order to develop a thick skin, my friends. And we all need a thicker skin in order to be more resilient, right? Because there's situations out there that are going to test how thick your skin is, right? So, you see, tip number three, which we just discussed, healing fallback mechanisms. This is the stuff you do after you're hurt. A daily routine, which is tip number four, is what you do to build your immunity. fortify yourself before the battle even begins. It's building your strength and immunity to the stress, the irritants, and the hard knocks of life. In other words, your daily routine is the armor, is the shield you go before you step out into the world and fight your war. And resilience, my friends, is not just about how quickly you bounce back. It's also about how well prepared you are. How strong you've become, how much you've conditioned your mind, body, and soul so you don't get knocked down as often so that you can ignore the irritants which used to mess up your entire day before. This is more like a preventive measure. For me, my daily non-negotiables are simple but compounding. And that's what all of the things in this tip number four will fall into. Uh these are simple things but they will compound over a period of time. That is if you do them consistently they will give you a lot of strength. My daily affirmations that program my mind non-negotiable. My gratitude lists that shift me from lack to abundance. My mindfulness breaks. My breathing breaks that center me in the middle of a chaotic day. My prayers my nickname that connect me with something bigger than myself. My daily workouts to keep my body strong and agile. I ideally on an ideal day I'd try to do them at the same time to create more consistency in my system but life isn't always predictable and I travel across time zones I juggle with multiple projects and speaking engagements and when the day doesn't go as planned which is very often I still make sure I do some version of my non-negotiables at some place in some form sometimes you'll see me doing my prayers in the lounge with the queser cloth on my head I'll be doing my prayers you'll see me reading my affirmations on a flight doing my stretching routines in hotel rooms or my morning breath work by the pool in a hotel before my speaking engagement is ### Segment 6 (25:00 - 30:00) [25:00] to begin. The principle here is persistence and compounding not perfection. And science supports this. Okay. According to a research published in Frontiers in Psychology, people who practice consistent daily rituals, Tony Robbins calls it the hour of power. Your consistent daily ritual like journaling or meditation or exercise or breath work. These folks show a 40% increase in stress resilience compared to those who don't. Even a small act like taking a breathing break that you do daily will yield a compounding effect. And the result will be that when you're hit, you won't be struggling to heal because you've been strengthening yourself all along. Just like you conditioned your muscles, you've conditioned your mind to become stronger. So here's my challenge to you. Make a list of at least three to five daily non-negotiables, right? Things you'll do no matter what. No matter where you are in the world, no matter how busy the day is, three to five things, okay? Start simple. Uh it could be a breathing break, it could be meditation, anything. And make a public commitment right now by sharing it in the comment section of this video. Write down something as I commit to 15 minutes of meditation and silence daily. breath work reading or writing my gratitude lists every single day. Make a commitment in the comment section today and start this simple but compounding habits right from today. All right, let's move on to tip number five now, which is focus on what you can control. I repeat, You see, my friends, one of the biggest sources of stress in life and overwhelm is pouring energy into things we cannot do anything about. And social media, a place where most of us spend a lot of our time these days, makes it worse. You click on that one sensational video. Even if it's like a video of road rage, two people fighting with each other, which has nothing to do with you, you invite it into your experience. You're just giving your time and energy to negativity. You are essentially feeding the beast. The algorithms don't care about your peace of mind. They care about views and your attention. So, if you keep clicking, they'll keep serving you more of the same stuff. And suddenly, you will feel that you're drowning in a world that looks way darker than it really is. And that's when you'll begin to feel pessimistic and sad. And you'll say, "What's the point of being positive when all this negative stuff is happening around me? " And therefore, I say, "Guard your attention fiercely. You guard your homes fiercely, right? You put on CCTV cameras. You lock the doors at night. You look after your physical possessions so well. You don't look after your mind so well. You let all sort of nonsense in. So guard your attention from useless videos on social media and also from conflicts that drain your energy with people who won't let you do what you have to do. Don't waste your limited energy and time on things that you cannot influence or on people because energy is your most precious currency. and they all want it. All of these tech companies, these social media companies, they want some of your time and attention. And this is your most precious currency in this changing um era. So spend it wisely on things that matter the most. I love Dr. Steven Kavy's model from the book seven habits of highly effective people. He talks about two circles. He said things in life can be divided in two circles. Okay, stay with me here. the circle of concern. It's big and it's dark and it's gloomy and heavy. It's full of things and issues and people you're concerned about. You care about them, but you can't directly influence them or their behavior or these events, things like the economy, global conflicts, wars happening around you, government policies, traffic, pollution, even the potholes on the road. You're concerned about all these things, but you can't immediately change them right now, even if you want to. The second circle Dr. Kvy talks about is the circle of control. It's smaller, way smaller than the circle of concern, but it's greener and it's alive and it's full of hope and possibilities. It's full of things you can influence today without needing anyone's permission without extra costs. things like your habits, your fitness, your learning, your kindness, your attitude, your effort, your joy, your ability to ignore small things, your ### Segment 7 (30:00 - 35:00) [30:00] ability to stay in peace and bliss and happiness. This is what the circle of control looks like. Resilient people shrink the circle of concern and expand the circle of control. In other words, they focus on what's actionable. They spend more energy on what they can control. Let me give you an example. Let's say you want to stay fit, but you keep complaining. Oh, the gym is too far. It's too expensive. The trainers are not friendly. The members are not friendly. I don't like the music there. There's too much traffic. It's too far away. All of these complaints, they belong to your circle of concern. Okay, you're concerned about them. And you might be right, but you can't change these things. But here's a question. How about you do 20 push-ups right now? How about you pause this video and do 20 push-ups right now? You can't hire somebody else to do it. I mean, to improve your fitness, you could. You have to do it. You can because it's in your control. Your end goal is fitness, right? So, why bother spending all that energy on complaining about what's wrong with the gym? The gym hasn't hired you as a consultant to improve their quality. When they do, please write down all those complaints and be a consultant for them. But right now, your goal is fitness. So why not do 20 push-ups right now? That's in your circle of control. You don't need permission. You don't need extra expenditure. You just need to get started. And that's my friends, how you build resilience. When you stop obsessing over the black circle, the circle of concern and start acting inside the circle of control. The Bhagavad Gita says the same thing. You have control over your actions alone, never over their results. I repeat, you have control over your actions, over your karma alone, never over the results. Focus on your karma, your actions, your attitude. Let go of the outcomes. They'll come when they have to. Let go of the concerns, the botherrations because they're not in your control every anyway. Modern thinkers echo the same. Jack Canfield has a beautiful line which says, "Some will, some won't. So what? Someone's waiting. " I love it. Some waiting. If a client doesn't say yes to your proposal, don't go into despair. Move on. Focus on the next one. That's resilience in business. Redirecting energy where it matters. As a student, if you have a clear one exam, it's all right. There's probably more opportunities available, more exams available, more avenues available. In my own journey, I've lived this principle. There were so many times clients did not respond as we wanted them to. At first, it hurts. You take it personally sometimes, but then you realize I can't control their decisions. What I can control is how many calls can I make tomorrow? How much better can I get at my craft? How much can I improve my proposals, my marketing, my social media campaigns, my videos? How consistently can I show up with value for my clients? And that's what keeps us moving. And that was tip number five for all of you, my friends. Focus on what you can control, not what you're concerned about. And before we close, let me add a little bonus point in here. It's humor. Humor is one of the best tools for creating Brazilians because it shrinks big problems. What do you think of big problems? It shrinks them back to size. When you sometimes exaggerate a situation in your head by overthinking. When you blow it out of proport proportion. Humor is like a needle pop that pops the balloon. I'll share a personal story. Once I discovered that a branch of a tree in my garden, one a tree that was planted by my mother had been chopped off. I was furious. Who did this? Who trespassed into my property and chopped off that branch from that tree? I was checking CCTV cameras, suspecting the neighbors, even the painters who were working next door. My mind built up this whole crime scene. And then I discovered it was my own gardener who had trimmed it, who thought it was growing too big and he trimmed it and I laughed at myself. And I wrote this down in my journal. I encourage you do things like that, you know, opportunities like that. Note them down so you don't forget them. I wrote it down in my journal to remind myself so many of the imagined disasters never really happen. Mark Twain once said, "I've had a lot of troubles and worries in my life, most of which never really happened. " And that's what humor does. It brings perspective. It lowers your stress hormones, and it reminds you to not take yourself or life too seriously. So developing a healthy sense of humor to look at life a little bit more lightly will be really powerful in you helping develop resilience for all the difficulties that will certainly cross your path. And Swami Wakanandhi said this the day which everything goes smooth realize that you're probably on ### Segment 8 (35:00 - 39:00) [35:00] the wrong path because if you're on the right path you will face difficulties every single day. So, first of all, thank you so much for staying with me all the way till the end in this video. I hope the five tips plus one bonus that I shared with you are useful. In closing, I'd like to say this. It's not your IQ. It's not your school or college grades. It's not how many certificates you've collected. The real test of life is when life hits you hard, which it will, how quickly can you get back up? Do you come back stronger? Do you rise with more wisdom and experience and compassion and grit than before? Because it's important to remember that life does not work like a classroom. And that's all for my young friends out there. Life does not work like a classroom. You don't get neat lessons by teachers followed by tests. Out here in real life, the tests usually come first and only later do you learn the lessons. That's why resilience matters so much more than exam scores. Somebody in Udu wrote it beautifully. Some of the most beautiful human beings that I know, people I deeply respect and admire and love, people who inspire me are not the people who've had it easy in their lives for whom everything was handed down on the platter. These are the ones who've been through their own dark nights, who fought silent battles nobody knew about. And yet they have bounced back every single time. They haven't just survived through all this. They came back to tell the tale and inspire others. And humbly I include myself in that category too. My journey too has been one of setbacks, struggles, comebacks, waiting. Here's my invitation to you. Be that person. The one who rises again. The one who becomes unbreakable. Not because life never knocked them down, but because they knew how to repair themselves. Because they knew that they will not stay down no matter what. That they will rise back every single time. Cuz when things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when the funds are low and the debts are high, when you want to smile, but you have to sigh, when care is pressing you down a bit, rest if you must, but don't you quit. Life is queer with its twists and turns. As every one of us sometimes learns and many a fellow turns about when he might have won had he stuck it out. Don't give up. Though the pace seems slow, you may succeed with another blow. Often the goal is nearer than it seems to a faint and faltering man. Often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the victor's cup. And he learned too late when the night came down how close he was to the golden crown. Successes failure turned inside out. Success's The silver tint of the clouds of doubt. And you can never tell how close you are. It may be near when it seems afar. So stick to the fight when your hardest hit. It's when things go wrong that you must not quit. Thank you so much for spending this time with me. Stay strong, stay hopeful, and keep bouncing back. And until next time, bye-bye.
