Shark lesson of the day:
Shark Ghazal gave a lesson on failures. She advised not to be afraid of failures. It doesn’t even matter whether you have failed or not,or how many times you have failed. The important thing is what you have done after failure. Either you can drop your passion or you can learn from it to improve in future. And from that, the persistence and consistency you developed in yourself, stand you out from others.
