I am walking in Shiran Palace, KBR Park. And as you can see, they have this road. So, they installed these concrete blocks in a completely undrown chain. And then when they finished that whole work, then it rained. Heavy rain and the whole road got converted into a drain. And then somebody says, oh, how can we, we need water for the, we need space for the water to run off. So, then they hired a whole bunch of labor and removed these blocks individually, one by one. Every so many meters. Right? So, nobody thought that it would rain. Can you believe this? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. rains is a discovery for the forest department okay i think the way money is squandered is not funny anyway the park is very beautiful it's uh massively destabilized left alone so uh they haven't tried to improve it uh meaning destroy it so we have uh the natural vegetation and it's like an urban forest of grasses it has all kinds of different trees and lots of birds uh mammals reptiles small mammals uh reptiles and so on one of the most commonly seen things is peacocks absolute profusion of peafowl in this part what i want to talk to you about today is a thought which is that when we talk about careers we talk about life and so on we talk almost exclusively in terms of success in terms of victory right so what are the successes what are the victories and so forth and we run away from failures especially failures where the failure was not due to was not due to natural causes but was due to our own lack of judgment or wrong judgments we try to avoid that and pretend that it didn't happen or it couldn't have happened well after all how can i be wrong no i suggest to you that hooking your self-esteem hooking your self-image to success is a very dangerous thing and the reason is dangerous is because of how we are conditioned to define success our conditioning is that we from the earliest childhood whether it's a parent whether it's a teacher and then as we grow older it becomes a boss it becomes a individual boss and might become few rise enough in an organization and it could be the board of the organization but multiple external people our success what we like to call success depends on what they start doing and how they keep dealing with success this is what we are constantly moving on, my God, success is highly traveling fellow nano bio environmentalist andinary and 150 and display profile among other things as you walk along the screen or beyond the screen you have a long Parkinson who will say what can i do this or where I can do that or what can i do that or what can i do it this way there is an increasing strength of love it is a responsibility to keep growing lines across business since you are involved in it it is a complement in life okay so i have just been in the last several months over school you tried to define but instead they say about it. So if they say, oh fantastic, great job, we feel happy. If they say no, bad job, we feel unhappy. The job itself, what is my view about my work? We don't think about that. So our self-image and our self-esteem is hooked to success as defined by somebody else. Now that somebody is only looking at a final output or outcome without having almost no knowledge or very limited knowledge of what it took to get to that place. They don't have that knowledge, more than likely they don't care. But they will pass some judgment. So we also have this habit. We say, oh great, good job, fantastic job. Tommy, you're a great guy. And Tommy feels sad, glad, bad, mad. Now, as I said, the big problem with this is that then our happiness is always in the hands of somebody else. And if we are not able to get that good,
