Core Message - Resilience is not about pretending everything is okay, but about staying and rising with courage and wisdom [3][4] - Resilience is built, not innate, and grows through facing rejections and failures [4][11] - Failure is feedback, and mistakes are lessons, indicating growth, not falling behind [12] Personal Journey & Turning Point - The speaker initially faced repeated losses in singing competitions, leading to self-doubt [5][6] - A turning point occurred when the speaker entered an international competition despite initial hesitation [7][8] - During the international competition, the music stopped mid-performance, but the speaker continued singing a cappella [9][10] Building Resilience - Resilience is like a muscle that strengthens with each rejection, failure, and temptation to quit [11] - Success is not a straight path but a roller coaster with turns and stops [12] - Even a small glimmer of hope can shine brightly [13]
