Definitely. I would like to tell you about my mom and a person that I've heard a quote from recently, Charlie. He is one of the most famous brokers in the world. Talking about my mom, she is very thoughtful. She always takes care of me even though I am already over 18 years old. My mom taught me that I should not take things too personally. She said that I shouldn't be too hard on myself when I make a mistake. She also told me that everyone makes mistakes and it's normal. The important thing is to learn from them and move forward. I learned this lesson from her. As for Charlie, I came across a quote on Instagram recently. He said something like, 'Life is a tragedy in close-up, but if you step back and view it from a distance, it's just a comedy.' This quote really resonated with me and I connect it with my mom's advice that I remind myself of every day. It reminds me not to take life too seriously and that every mistake is a learning opportunity. We shouldn't dwell on our struggles because everything can be overcome and solved.
