you will fail at some point in your life
you will lose you will suck at something
there is no doubt about it it’s
unavoidable this may surprise you but
I’m an introvert public speaking is not
something that comes easy to me so I
decided to challenge myself by founding
TEDx and sorry economical finance
society at the same time while being a
physics major this was something which
is actually crazy for me so you can
imagine an amount of nervousness and
that swept over me now having no choice
to avoid the lamp the spotlights really
really put me in my in an uncomfortable
zone which I had to push through to add
to add more pomp plenty I threw myself
into the fire again by playing to one of
the most prestigious and grueling
internships on Wall Street but I got it
on day one they told us that is the
acceptance rate for getting into this
place was 3% while slipping in the fact
that getting into Harvard was 5% I felt
proud but you can literally hear a pin
drop in that room as saying Trump came
to mind while I was sat there if you
hang around the barbershop long enough
sooner or later you will get your hair
cut so hang in there you will catch a
break and you will find your passion
last January I found my passion
announcing the arrival of my new startup
cluster an event discovery app whilst
solar backpacking around Southeast Asia
I must admit though the sacrifices made
to get my team to where we are today was
immense but in the past two weeks alone
our team’s effort have been rewarded
beyond our expectations by winning
student Enterprise Awards 5,000 pounds
investments securing industry
partnerships across the UK and receiving
an influx of interest including our very
own vice-chancellor Max Lee say today’s
been a rollercoaster ride an adventure
conducting 1000 failed experiments
back-to-back we should all be very glad
that he did not give up because the 1000
on first was the lightbulb Thomas Edison
fell forward a single mother on welfare
received back-to-back rejections from
publishers only to become the first
female novelist billionaire with Harry
Potter
JK Rowling fell forward a young gifted
kid got cut from his high school
basketball team he locked himself in his
room to cry but luckily he did not stay
there six championship rings later he
became a world renowned brand all unto
himself
Marco Jordan fell forward sometimes
failure is the best way to figure out
where you’re going to go never be
discouraged never hold back never give
it everything you’ve got and when you
fail throughout life
just remember fell forward at least that
way you see what you’re going to hit you
should have nothing to lose now sadly
one of the most common reasons why
people never find the courage to pursue
their dreams is because they succeed and
convincing themselves that there is too
much to lose in failing it could be
their job it could be their pride it
could be a relationship or simply the
comforts and securities of home this
idea of freedom like you have something
to lose is wildly exaggerated and will
prevent you from ever doing anything
extraordinary that involves risk at all
an idea that may condemn you to a life
of mediocrity an idea that may send you
to the grave with all of your good ideas
and potential
unfulfilled this should scale ask
yourself would I rather cling on to this
life that I’ve settled for right now
with its relative comforts though it’s
making me unhappy or am i deserving of
and distant for more especially if
you’re young let’s say under 30 even
though even if you crash and burn the
experience gained will be worth ten
times the cost Steve Jobs once said
remembering that I’m going to die
someday is the best way to avoid the
trap of thinking that I’m some has
something to lose
none of this is coming with you you are
already naked the only thing you really
have in this life is time and so you
should have best that time in yourself
in the experiences that will develop you
as an individual you can’t possibly lose
that way get uncomfortable being
uncomfortable if you have any goal that
you want bad enough you should do just
that the cliche phrase is do what makes
you happy but what they leave out from
that phrase is the amount of hard work
and sacrifice involved instead do what
makes you uncomfortable what’s scary
what’s hard that will pay off in the
long run for gold being satisfied with
short-term gratification you’ll become a
more well-rounded person on the other
side because without this struggle what
its success anyway we tend to fear
criticism instead of welcoming it so
many of us choose our path out of fear
disguised as practicality our dreams
seemingly too ridiculous to expect it in
reality so we never decide to just go
for it the truth is in the end you only
regret the chances you don’t you you
don’t got take so going upstream against
the current to reach your dreams is far
from easy if it was everybody would
doing it your reasons you’re wise must
be big enough all your excuses will be
to get through the pain and there will
be pain you must mentally ready yourself
or you will never be physically prepared
to do what seems crazy you become and
attract what you think about so dig deep
and visualize the future and your future
do not focus on the tip of the iceberg
that 5% that’s visible because true
success lies below the surface keep this
in mind
hustle B is talent when talent doesn’t
hustle sometimes you win and sometimes
you learn adopt this mindset it’s my
advice to you to reframe failures and
it’s informative lessons learnt is the
first step if you four seven times get
up eight you may be delayed but this
does not mean you’ve been denied keep
pushing keep moving you cannot let the
fear of failure or judgments or
embarrassments stop you from doing
what’s going to make you great you
simply cannot succeed without this risk
of failure so you might as well risk
being seen in all of your glory doing
what you love so what now well if you
want to reach the next level in your
life guess what you have to jump it’s
very simple sound simple anyway there is
no way around it
every successful person in history has
jumped you have to dash off the edge of
that cliff as far as you can and have
the unwavering belief that you will
learn to fly on the way down now most
people stand on the edge of that cliff
they look down they see everyone else
soaring and they say no way I’m not
jumping I’m scared but catch this the
only way to live life fully is to jump
but here’s the problem when you jump
I can assure you one thing you listening
you will not fly straight away see
that’s the fair part you will hit the
sides you will get cuts you will get
bruises on the way down but eventually
with a firm belief in yourself you will
fly the flip side though if you do not
jump you will never fly which I know for
some of you maybe you want to do that
you’ll be safe but you will never saw
and realize your true greatness so take
that jump fail fast and fail forward
thank you
[Applause]
you will lose you will suck at something
