00:00My performance is bad. My potential is not bad.

00:04These two have to be simultaneously remembered

00:07and both have to be acknowledged at the same time.

00:11Don't be an ostrich.

00:12Don't start looking the other way when your performance is bad.

00:15And even as you admit you have done badly,

00:17remember doing badly is not your destiny.

00:20Your potential is far bigger.

00:22So your performance, your current performance

00:24and your potential have to be remembered in the same breath together.

00:29If you remember only your potential and keep saying,

00:31Oh, I'm a superstar.

00:33I'm born to be the lord of the world.

00:35Then you will totally forget that in spite of your potential,

00:39right now you are down in the dumps.

00:41Similarly, if you remember only how you currently are

00:45and have forgotten what you can be,

00:48what you are destined to be,

00:49then inferiority will grip you.

00:52You will feel so disappointed.

00:54You won't even give yourself another chance.
