I grew up in a spanish speaking country in the south of America. I lost my mom and dad when I was a kid. I have to work and study in College. Then, I started my work life and saved a lot money because I always dream of traveling abroad and pursue my doctoral studies. After 6 years of work I quit my job. I went to the U.S. and study English for 4 month. I took an English test and I failed. Then, I have to work in all kind of jobs such cleaning, babysitting, washing dishes... you name it! I started each month without knowing if I have the money to pay rent and buy food but in the last minute a job came out and was able too. I prayed to Jesus for support. I was always studying English. Then, after year, I took the English test and I failed again but I did not give up. I stayed in total 2 years in the U.S. I took my English test for the 3rd time and I passed!! I was accepted to a doctoral program in Canada with a great scholarship. Never give up your dreams, be persistent and pray!

Hi everyone ! Since i was little i almost always had to fail in order to grow, learn and succeed. For me that's how life works. We learn some essential knowledge by failure. That's a fundamental part of how we learn to walk, communicate and most of our skills and knowledge. That's how we grow, from beeing a child to an adult, from weakness to strenght. It is a frustating and sometimes painful process but its is necessary. I'm not saying it is the only way to learn, you can learn by playing games, having fun aswell. But in my opinion in order to grow strong you must learn to fight adversity, fight for yourself, be brave and stay positive in hard times. When you experience both rewarding and frustating ways of learning, you are skilled and prepared. You'll instictively try the easy way out of a problem, but you will try another way if it doesn't work. And if you persist, you will succeed. If you are aware of your skills and think before you act you'll be confident and toward success.

I used to be really bad at basketball. I held the ball awkwardly, and never made a basket. With help from people, I managed to get better and be proud of myself.

I want more friends, new friends, someone I don't know their name before, not a friend of a friend kind of friend, but more like a total stranger you meet in a coffee shop, or at a bus stop. Here's come the problem: I am very bad with strangers; I can't meet their eyes (I have no problem with friends) and I have no idea what to talk after I introduce myself which often lead to an awkward situation (I also have no problem with friends).
I know this is out of topic, but I have not solve my problem yet. And this video is an inspiration for me to always do better.
I will take baby steps; starting from tomorrow (because now already almost midnight) my goal is to look a stranger in their eyes and smile (I always want to do this, but I'm a coward). At least 5 strangers daily.

I wish everyone of you can achieve your goals and be success and find happiness in life.
Cheers.
