Two years ago, I didn’t have the balls to express myself.

I was preparing for the IELTS exams, and in the speaking module, I got blank. And I embarrassed myself.

From that moment, I practiced and practiced with one goal in mind — never to get embarrassed again. I suffered and lost words. But I embraced the fear of public speaking. I started dominating in class.

Then, I realized it’s all about winning.

Classmates started saying — impressive, you speak well, you’ll get through the interview easily. I was like, they don’t know a thing about me — the embarrassment, failures, and consistent self-doubt.

In a nutshell:

“ Results only matter”.

Learn the way to win

“Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose, to accept defeat, to learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes, you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying.” — Bruce Lee

Life is hard. You never know what’s gonna happen. So, you better be prepared for the odds. Because if you don’t, you will never make something out of life.

You need a winning mindset, period.

Winning is not about a trophy: it is about fighting to death.

I’ve tried 100 other things to win, but it didn’t work because deep down, I lack the obsession to go after my goals. With consistent embarrassment and suffering — I quit settling for less

And I started seeking wins, and everything fell in line.

  • I persevered through tough times
  • I tolerate stress in a productive way
  • And I keep moving even if it hurts

So, get through your head, and ask — am I a warrior? Can I get things done? If don’t.

Start today.
