I ask my self: are defeats necessary? Well, necessary or not, they happen. When we first begin fighting for a dream, we have no experience and make mistakes. The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.

REFLECTION:
- How much resilience do you have?
- Can you get up after falling seven times or more and still get up again?
- Is there a situation that has you knocked down? How can you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get going again?
