Chapter 1: The Essence of Trying

Life is an adventure filled with curiosity. As Albert Einstein once stated, “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.” This sentiment encapsulates the idea that life is fundamentally about exploration and experimentation.

Initially, it’s natural to feel apprehensive about new experiences. However, remember that every endeavor you undertake is a first for you. In this vast universe, every moment is unique, and your journey unfolds with each new experience.

Your life revolves around embracing these firsts, evolving from tentative steps to confident strides. Tony Robbins wisely noted, “If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten.”

Reflecting on my childhood, I had no idea that I would strive harder than anyone else or explore new avenues more than my peers. Achievements like mastering reading, completing a degree in civil engineering, or creating art were all milestones I never anticipated.

But you, too, have the potential to achieve these milestones. The fear of failure should not hold you back. You are capable of anything.

Walt Disney once said, “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious, and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”

From learning to read and write to riding a bike or expressing yourself through dance or writing, the possibilities are endless. Yet, the key is to take the first step—no one will be there to guide you through every moment.

The world is a complex web of ideas and disciplines, and to make informed decisions, we must explore various paths. So, go ahead—try new things to gain a broader understanding of life!

Keep pushing forward.

Thank you, friends.

With love!
