Don't think of "FAIL" as "FAIL", think of it as "F.A.I.L." = First Attempt In Learning.

I have a learning disability called Dyslexia. It is so severe that when I was finally diagnosed post graduating from medical school that my doctors said I should not have been able to pass high school, let alone medical school. I have suffered from a lifelong academic failure and have failed more than anyone I have ever known in a university or medical school. I have been told my teachers, advisors and colleagues that I am a failure, a waste of time, and I can never make it. Somehow I graduated without disability accommodations. Even the government for the disabled refused to grant me accommodations because they do not believe someone with my condition could have ever passed high school, so I must have cheated. The government department for the disabled refused to accommodate a disabled. And after all this, now I get to help save lives during the world’s Covid-19 pandemic, so do not ever let anyone talk you out of your dream. My dream started when I was 5 and people are alive because this 5 yr old boy never knew how to quit. And I am now a new father and my son was born during the year of the pandemic 2020. I will teach him how to never quit.

For someone who has lacked confidence all my life i am 40 now and i thought we can not keep repeating that lack of. I am grateful for the internet and videos like this that really give so much value on how to boost your confidence. Not to put anyone down but i think alot of society can gain from learning to be more confident.

"Practice failure"

Bruh, I'm already nailing it!

[goldbristow]

I feel like alot of people don't give you time to fail and improve. Especially with how school goes. There's only so much time. But I'll keep trying.

Growing up, I didn't know this "You can improve mindset" that's why I was always afraid of taking risks. Now I am trying to change for the better. Fighting to all the people that are in the same situation as me.

I like the last part that says "Whatever the results... you'll have gained greater knowledge and understanding." Learning to appreciate the growth journey and reframing outcomes that seem different from our expected results may really help in taking on unfamiliar challenges we find uncomfortable with. It's like 'playing the game, for the game itself'.

Lol I remember everyone laughed at me at school because I couldn't speak English but did some gestures instead. Now I can speak English better than any of my friends and I went abroad alone. This is how we get succeed after failing lots of times.

"Confidence is when we think we are valuable, capable, optimistic and after a failure, we have come great knowledge and understanding". "It turns doubts into action" Thanks for this fantastic video :) Regards from Peru.

[AdityaKumar-ijok]

2:01 that's where people go wrong, it's "believe in your ability to IMPROVE" and not what most of us usually remember "believe that you are the best", it takes practice and time to be the best, you can never know when you become the best.
