00:00Never be too troubled by defeats. Take defeats as default. The problem with you all is...
00:06I'm Daisy. I'm a PhD student from Center for Arts Sciences. I have been listening to you for one year.
00:13After interacting with you, I have realized that I should fill my life with more things that I can enjoy.
00:20And somehow I lack some physical strength that I'm able to see on day-to-day.
00:24After some time, I give up on it. So, my question is, do I lack understanding or do I lack
00:31love to follow that?
00:33Giving up is not the same as missing. Giving up is not the same as missing. Right?
00:39This is life. It will keep defeating you. Now and often, here and there, it will happen.
00:45Your job is to just get up and just walk on.
00:49I have to constantly keep fighting.
00:51Obviously, what else? What else? Remember, you went to the gym a day, you skipped the gym the next day.
00:58That does not undo what you got the previous day. Right?
01:02And never say, because I missed the gym for five consecutive days, so I'm giving up.
01:06Giving up is not admissible.
01:09Never be too troubled by defeats. Take defeats as default.
01:13The problem with you all is, when you are especially intellectual and talented and have not seen too many disappointments
01:22and setbacks in life,
01:23the problem is, you start seeing defeats as aberrations.
01:27Defeats become milestones for you.
01:29Oh my God! I was always doing well.
01:31How did I disqualify?
01:35How did I fail this exam?
01:38How did I not clear that hurdle?
01:40When defeat comes, when a wound lands, when you take a blow, take that as default.
01:45That's life. That's life. Just get up and give one back.
