DON’T LET FEAR DECIDE FOR YOU. That’s what I still tell myself every time I am tasked to speak in front of a crowd. To sustain success, we have to keep growing. While the butterflies in my stomach never go away, I learned to be okay with being awkward or uncomfortable while going out of my comfort zone. Incidentally, that’s also when more doors opened. More windows too!

Success, indeed, doesn’t mean avoiding failure. Taking risk can go either way — we win or learn. As long as we strive to be our best, it is okay to stutter, to make mistakes. Life is not about succeeding or failing. It is about leveraging on our every experience to hone us, to better us, to strengthen us.

That’s what winning is.
