When I told my mom I wanted to double major in aerospace engineering and physics, she didnt tell me I was overreaching. She didnt tell me “What if CERN doesn’t hire you? What if you can’t get your PhD in physics?” She said, “okay. Here are the best schools for your majors. Let’s move to Florida so you’re right in the hotspot for aerospace jobs.”  A year after I started my majors, she planned a trip for us to Switzerland to tour CERN so I could see my future workplace. My mom taught me there is no plan B. She taught me that you need to throw yourself full steam ahead into your dreams.

1. Have no backup plan.
2. Rejection causes actual physical pain. Look at it as growing pain.
3. Smiling boosts happiness levels.
4. Avoidance makes fear greater.

I agree with not having a plan B. It's not about trusting your circumstances, but trusting your ability to handle whatever comes your way. If you hit a wall, you can just re-direct yourself. Even the things that go "wrong" are just telling you that something needs to change, and you can always adapt. As long as you believe you will get what you want, and keep putting in the work, there is no failing. And don't forget to have fun!

Thank you for the video and the message, very much

Hmm... maybe backup plans and backup systems are different.
When engineers design cars and rockets they have fail safes in case things go wrong, those are back up [systems]. But the plan is still designing a good vehicle.
But a back up [plan] can reduce your commitment to plan A such that you stop designing vehicles altogether.
And uncommittedness can be catastrophic in this life. I think I finally understand this pov now, thank u

by the 10th of Nov, i will have written my very last exam that will determine if i'm making it out of my hometown. i have 39 days to give it my all. i've never done anything like this before, my family thinks it's wishful dreaming and i have already been met with one rejection. this is going to require every ounce of audacity i can squeeze out of myself so this vid is perfect timing. wish me luck!

You are so beautiful 😍
