A short motivational YouTube clip (Eric Deeran - Master Filmmaker) in which the speaker shares a mentor-taught aphorism: "you either win or you learn." The speaker contrasts a victim mentality (events happen to you) with a winner's mentality (events happen for you) and frames setbacks as lessons that prepare you for future success.

I have a saying that my mentor taught me, and it's you either win or you learn. And so if you don't win, you learn something that's going to help you win. But all of the situations that are happening for you are not happening to you, they're happening for you. People who have a victim mentality say that they're happening to them. People who have a winner's mentality say that they're happening for them. And so it's teaching you lessons that you're going to use down the road.
