Resilience

When I kept failing at meeting goals in my job, I wanted to quit. At the time I thought this job was not for me. My mentor and my family reminded me why I wanted to challenge myself and that I cannot quit when things are bad. I need to fix the problem and only then I can leave. I am so glad I stayed because I learned so much through all the failures.
