Resilience

Rejection might sting, but my feeling is that it often has very little to do with you.

There will be times when your best is not enough. There can be many reasons for this, but as long as you give your best, you'll be okay.

Rejection might sting, but my feeling is that it often has very little to do with you.

Remember when life brings challenges — it also brings opportunity!

The one way to guarantee you're not going to be successful at something is to give up on it. Really ambitious goals — starting a theater company, running for Congress, opening an art gallery in Prague. These things are hard. But even the hardest goal is not that hard.

It doesn't matter how slow you go, so long as you don't stop. My point is: be fair to yourselves with regards to how you view your achievements. And don't be afraid to try things outside your comfort zone.

Adversity is a necessary and important part of life. Adversity strengthens each of us in ways that success cannot.

There is no adversity capable of stopping you once the choice to persevere is made.

It meant more to our father to see us deal with a setback and try to bounce back than to watch how we handled our successes. 'Show what you are made of,' he would say.

We human beings are a lot more resilient than we often realize.

Think of negativity as noise. Believe in yourself and what you're doing. Remember: if the most unique ideas were obvious to everyone, there wouldn't be entrepreneurs.

Your life's course will not be determined by doing the things that you are certain you can do. It will be determined by whether you try the things that are hard.
