They taught you to be strong. The strongest. Not to bend, not to look vulnerable. And they forgot to tell you that no matter how strong you are, it's going to hurt. They'll betray you, they'll deceive you, they'll scare you. And eventually you will inevitably fail.

They forgot to tell you that strength is not the absence of pain, but the ability to endure it.

They forgot to tell you that fear is not an enemy, but a companion.

They forgot to tell you that failure is not the end, but the way to progress.
