A short YouTube monologue (Jacqueline Elliott) arguing that experiencing failure early builds adaptability: you either "suffer as a child" and learn endurance, or avoid early hardship and then struggle to endure challenges as an adult. The speaker links this idea to business and team leadership, emphasizing learning to adapt when things go wrong.

I do believe that I did learn a lot from seeing failure growing up. Now, when we see things, we're overcomers. Like, we learn to adapt when stuff doesn't work right. So it happens a lot when you own a business and when you have a team especially and everything, you're going to run into things, into problems, and you learn to adapt because you're either going to suffer as a child or as an adult. You might have an easy life as a child, and then when you become an adult, it might not even be that big of a deal, but you will feel it really hard as if you did, because you don't know how to endure pain.
