Hinesh Chauhan delivers a short, extemporaneous spoken reflection about facing a precarious period in life, the inevitability and utility of failure, and practical steps for coping: trying, accepting failure, seeking mentoring/support, and continuing to learn iteratively. The tone is candid, self-reflective, and encouragement-focused.
Now as I sit here trying to figure out what gives, what, what do I sacrifice, you know, what, what's, what's my, what do I triage, what do I prioritize, what do, do I sacrifice, what do I cut, what do I choose? Because this, this is where I'm at is, is that it's, there's, there's a precarious point. I'm at a precarious point for a series of reasons, for a lot of circumstantial things that have come to, to be at, at this time. And it's, it's acknowledging that some things are going to fall to the wayside, some things are going to sacrifice, sacrifice or be sacrificed. Some people are going to be unhappy with me. And I have to manage expectations. But really it's impossible to live without failing. You have to fail. You have to live through these moments. You have to accept it and acknowledge that it's building your character. And I, really, from everything that has happened in the last several years and what I've learned from others in terms of biographies and, and taking the lessons, is that you don't. The beauty of all this, because it really is, there's, there's always a silver lining. And in the very moment, what I was feeling about 20, 20 minutes ago was not glorious by any means, but as, as I kind of worked through it in my mind, I realized, hey, you know, everything you grow by trying and failing. It's, it's failings. Control learning, control practice. I had another term, but my brain's not functioning because I haven't got my hands on, on that meth that I need. But ultimately the point I'm trying to make is, is just do it. Take it on, try, figure it out as you go. Seek the help that you, you need. Get, get the mentoring, get the coaching, get the support, do the research. All the informations out there, you may not have any, may not know where to look for. There's others that can help you and ask the questions, have, have the discussions and accelerate that, that trajectory by, by short circuiting the process to, to get those answers. And as you go along, you'll have to do a lot of your own learning because every damn piece has another five layers of learning that have secondary and tertiary effects that add to, to more learning. And what comes to mind right now, as I say words with too many syllables, is this week someone told me I have to speak at a, at a grade 8 level because that's, that's what's hurt. That's what's retained and that's, that's what's optimal and I'm very much an evidence based person and things that are the most likely to get me the results that I'm seeking. So with that, the, the knock on effects of, of all these things of have other knock on effects and, and so forth and, and such is life. But ultimately you gotta try, gotta try, you gotta fail, you gotta try again and do what works best and understand what doesn't work and just keep going.
