英会話仙人トモヤさん / ミスUSAが語る”失敗より怖いこと” | ネイティブ英語が聞き取れるようになる

–
Do not fear failure
but please be terrified of regret.
Giving up is the birth of regret.
After you walk out this door you will receive
a hundred doors shut,
slam in your face.
You will have a hundred moments
that will be filled with someone telling you, “No,”
or telling you, “Thank you for your application,
but we regret to inform you
that we’ve chosen a different candidate for this job.”
You will sit in a hundred different interviews,
and you will not get the job.
The reality of life is that we
will all hear more noes
than we hear yeses, and we will fail a lot,
and I mean a whole lot.
But what I ask of you today is to not take no for an answer.
Don’t be afraid of noes. Be afraid of the possibility
of a yes that you have prematurely destroyed
because you decided to quit before the clock strikes 12.
