This is a YouTube video titled "How The Top 1% Deal With Failure" created on October 11, 2025, discussing how successful individuals like Steve Jobs, Michael Jordan, and Cristiano Ronaldo handle failure and the importance of separating personal identity from failure events.

Every time I get rejected, I think of Steve Jobs getting kicked out of his own company. Every time I fail, I think about Michael Jordan losing a game. Every time I get tired of training, I think about Cristiano Ronaldo putting in that extra rep. Failure is an event, not a person. Whereas we start thinking we are the failure, and it's like, no, your application got rejected, and so you have to disconnect and distance yourself from the event.
