00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,125
What my thesis really is

2
00:00:03,125 --> 00:00:06,395
it was really just the willingness to fail

3
00:00:06,395 --> 00:00:09,305
that got me to wherever I was trying

4
00:00:09,305 --> 00:00:11,480
to get to. You know, because

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,495
if you're tight and you're scared of failure

6
00:00:14,495 --> 00:00:17,205
and you're scared of looking ridiculous,

7
00:00:17,205 --> 00:00:19,965
you never get to see your

8
00:00:19,965 --> 00:00:22,585
real limit or you never get to

9
00:00:22,585 --> 00:00:25,200
find the person that's going to catch you when you fall.

10
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,380
What I have found is the willingness to fail

11
00:00:28,385 --> 00:00:32,060
has very rarely, if ever, led to actual failure.

12
00:00:32,060 --> 00:00:34,340
It leads me to somewhere

13
00:00:34,540 --> 00:00:37,580
great, somewhere unexpected and somewhere

14
00:00:37,735 --> 00:00:40,715
dangerous and exciting.

15
00:00:40,715 --> 00:00:43,425
Really it's just, if you can just

16
00:00:43,485 --> 00:00:46,755
set aside your fear or really

17
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,060
you know, have the fear and do it anyway.

18
00:00:49,060 --> 00:00:52,600
You're going to learn, you're going to win or you're going to learn, you know?
