Like you said, I'm Toby Rubenstein, but I was voted most likely to shop in my high school yearbook of Basakov Queens, an all girls Yeshiva, which is a Jewish parochial school.N ...

[Applause] You failed. Two words we all know too well. Failure can echo in our minds, overshadowing every victory, every compliment, and every moment of joy.In a world that often celebrates success, failure makes us question our worth.

How I discovered t ...
