The solution may not be what you necessarily like but there's a solution out there somehow, some way."  "Failing means I tried something new, I didn't do it right, and I have an opportunity to learn from it. Failure, on the other hand, is a state of being. It's an active choice to stay stuck, and not move forward."  "Regurgitating stuff is not learning. The only way we learn is by making mistakes." "You don't always have to follow the conventional path that society constructs. And one of the things everybody deals with on a daily basis is because society expects you to operate in this box, but you just got to be you, and don't worry about those societal pressures and norms."
