Everyone gets knocked down. What matters is whether you get back up and keep going.

La historia detrás de esta cita
Clinton quotes Eleanor Roosevelt — 'You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face' — and then delivers this distillation of resilience. She acknowledges directly that yes, Yale graduates will make mistakes and will even fail, 'no matter how qualified or capable we are. Take it from me.' The line lands with the full weight of her 2016 presidential loss. She doesn't dodge it: she describes going for long walks in the woods, spending hours on Twitter, and having her fair share of Chardonnay. 'No, I'm not over it,' she says. 'I still think about the 2016 election. I still regret the mistakes I made.' The vulnerability makes the resilience message credible rather than abstract.
