Ladies and gentlemen, guys and girls, welcome to our ninth core lesson. This one is particularly special, because it has to do with something that happens to all of us at one point or another in our lives. And that is failure. Yes, we all fail. And when we do, what you want to do is embrace that failure and learn from that experience. Now, let's start as usual with our quote of the day and it goes like this.

There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve. And that is the fear of failure, which we all have at one point or another, but we need to get over that particular fear. Today, we're going to start with the introduction and mystery question. Then we'll go on to what is failure and why is failure actually good for you. Then we'll go into an activity called the failure toss. And this particular activity I find really interesting, and I hope you do too.

Then we'll take a look at how to learn specifically from failure, the steps that you should take in order to gain the most from these experiences. And finally, of course, we'll wrap up with the mystery question answered. So let's get into that mystery question. And the question is, who is this famous American politician, let me describe who he is. Number one, this particular person failed in business. He also failed in farming.

He also lost running for State Legislature at one point in time. He also then had a nervous breakdown and was rejected for a job as land officer. Now that's not just it. In addition, he ran for congress and can you guess failed. He ran for US Senate and then failed. He ran for Vice President of the United States and Kenny guess, failed.

And finally, he ran for senate again, and what do you think he won last? He failed? Who could this person be? That's the mystery question for this particular core lesson. And as we go throughout learning about failure, how to embrace failure and how to learn from failure, can you guess who this particular American politician is or was? So to recap fairly quickly, because this was a short introduction and mystery question.

We looked at the details of a famous American politician, specifically his failures. And then the question was, who is this person? All right, again, try to guess and get ready as we get into the next section, what is failure and why is it good for you? Okay?
