And to me, that was shifting from the possibility of me just standing there trying to do it on my own to having someone supportive there with me, showing me how to do it. And so it was just, I was engaging in another possibility. It's finding the process that works for you. And when you start, I almost think of it as like a knob, like it's like click, click, click, click. There it is.

Now I'm improving. And we need to be able to tune in to those incremental improvements and incremental progress in order for us to continue to advance. And to me, it's like falling in love with practice is the key to persistence. It's how we become persistent in anything in our life. If we can find ways to infuse joy into practicing, then we can keep at it for longer and we can be persistent.

wow, I've experienced so many setbacks and, you know, just nothing has ever come easy to me. And I would say, you know, the way I would describe it really is that let's say I ended up talking about my experiences, just all of my experiences in life, really. Okay.

Like you have a big failure. I have a lot of big failures. Okay. So for example, um, I applied to medical school, got rejected from all three schools that I applied to. I had so many failures. I was the kid in high school who got up to do a Walkman sing and got booed off the stage, right? I'm that kid. Wow.

I tried out to be on student council multiple times and I didn't get on, although I actually did get on in my final year of high school from pattern recognition. I figured some things out. But yeah, I almost visualize it's like I'm in a boat. I'm trying to get to the end of the stream, right? And I am bumping into every single rock along the way, every overhanging branch.

I mean, that's sort of like my experience with everything. And so one of the massive failures that I had is with TedMed. I was invited, actually, Jay Walker, the CEO of Priceline, was the CEO of TedMed. And he gave me a call and he said, hey, I would like to invite you to give a talk on your bio-inspiration work, how you turn to nature for inspiration over to develop medical technologies.
