"Being unafraid of failure is one of the most important qualities of a champion".


Sadly, i find this spirit to be hugely lacking in Asian context, where pride, egoism, "what if" and "I can never be wrong" thinking is seen as far more important than accepting not-so-favorable reviews in grace.

Indeed, the older a person, the more this is true. And thus the reluctance to try new things, for the fear of failure. It's a pity.

As for me, I am still learning the philosophy behind the message.
