00:00Many times in life we go through such period where we lose our hope and there is absolutely no motivation and we feel very down.
00:08So sir, how do you push yourself through these worst phases of life?
00:13The context, the bigger picture and that is that I am trying for something very important, right?
00:21That I am trying for is something that deserves to be remembered.
00:25Otherwise, why would one try for it?
00:28I am pushing towards something magnificent, something beautiful, something valuable.
00:33And that's the reason I am pushing towards it.
00:35Now what is more valuable, the thing you are trying for or the disappointment along the way?
00:40Remember that the disappointment is contingent upon, is dependent upon the value of the thing.
00:47So the disappointment has to be smaller.
00:49The value of the disappointment has to be smaller than the value of your target.
