Nelson Mandela poignantly expressed that there is no passion found in playing small.

Through history, many notable figures have experienced monumental failures that did not define them.

Similarly, Thomas Edison discovered the light bulb only after a thousand unsuccessful attempts. These examples exemplify the importance of resilience.
