"これが達成不可能だ、これはできないと言っているとき、私たちは自分自身に不当な扱いをしています。私の脳は、失敗を処理できません。失敗を処理することはありません。なぜなら、自分自身に向かって座って「あなたは失敗者だ」と告げなければならないのであれば、それはできないからです。"
— 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.
