"وقتی ما میگوییم این قابل انجام نیست، این نمیتواند انجام شود، در واقع خود را دستکم گرفتهایم. مغز من، نمیتواند شکست را پردازش کند. نخواهد کرد شکست را پردازش کند. چون اگر باید بنشینم و با خودم روبرو شوم و به خودم بگویم «تو یک شکستخورده هستی»،"
— Kobe Bryant
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, we set limits on what we think we can achieve because we believe some things are impossible. When we do this, we are actually holding ourselves back and missing out on chances to succeed. Imagine a person who is learning to ride a bicycle for the first time. If they keep telling themselves they’ll never be able to do it, they’d be too scared to even try. However, if they decide not to consider failing as an option and keep practicing, they will eventually learn to ride the bike. This approach can be applied to many areas in life. By not accepting failure as a result, we push ourselves harder to reach our goals. When we refuse to see failure as a possibility, we are more likely to keep going until we accomplish what we set out to do.
