“Persist, pivot, or concede. It’s up to us, our choice every time.”
— Matthew McConaughey
Simplified Meaning:
Every day, we face decisions about how to handle challenges in our lives, whether they are big or small. We can choose to keep trying to overcome the problem, change our approach, or decide to let it go. Imagine you're trying to learn how to play an instrument. You might practice the same song over and over until you can play it perfectly (persist). If you find it really difficult, you might try a different song or try different techniques (pivot). If you realize playing that instrument isn’t making you happy, you might choose to stop and find another hobby that you enjoy more (concede). This means that in every situation, we have the power to decide what to do next. Understanding this can help us make better choices and feel more in control of our lives.
