Hello everyone welcome to my weekly audio journal. Today I'd like to talk about the topic of resilience.

Growing up in an immigrant family, I watched and observed how my parents were able to navigate through a country where they couldn't speak the language. They weren't exactly completely happy with their lives but they worked hard, they saved and they provided for the family in need.

Watching their hardships and growing up in housing commission area, I realise that I had built a natural resilience to life's challenges. And now, as I'm on an entrepreneurial journey I continue to face issues and challenges. But I start to distinguish between the people that shut down emotionally when the tough gets going versus the people that have the resilience to power through.

I've been thinking about the people that make a positive impact in this world and the challenges and the struggles that they had to go through in order to make developments in their industry. How everything would have been so different if they had given up early in the game.

I truly believe that resilience is one of the biggest factors for success, not just monetary success but any success. And so whether we are born into resilience or it's something that we build. I believe that thinking about the bigger picture always helps. Will you let this struggle, this challenge stop you right here right now, from achieving your ultimate goal?

Thank you, everyone for listening.
