When my first daughter was turning two, I was struggling as a parent. Like any toddler, she had learned the word no. And she had developed opinions about everything.

Something you should know about me is that I am far from an expert skier. Regardless, I do still enjoy a nice ski retreat, sitting at the lodge, drinking my hot cocoa. And I do enjoy skiing, I promise. If you count the bunny slopes, that is, you know, the mountains that are about as steep as the floor you're sitting on. A few weeks ago, my friends took me on a ski retreat and they decided I was ready to conquer the blue slopes or the next level of difficulty. I did not feel ready to conquer the blue slopes. ...

I thought wow I really got lucky but later I wondered was it really luck? Good afternoon everyone. I am Atyawat. Raise your hand if you wish to be luckier. We all do. But have you ever stopped to ask, is luck something that just happens or is it something people earn? Back when I was in fifth grade, I didn't know how to play bask ...

Then I stayed there for like two years, then back to school in Greece to continue the school. And of course, I I skipped three grades within one year becau ...

Welcome everyone. Today I want to ask you a question. What if your uh big failures were actually the key the key to your success.Well, it all starts with a growth mindset because champions are not born with a growth mindset. Uh they just believe that effort leads to progress and that failure is a lesson and no one is limited by where they can start.
