七転び八起き

Nana Korobi Ya Oki (七転び八起き), translated to English as literal “fall seven times, stand up eight”.

The thing about success (in anything), it never comes in linear process. We all know that. And yet, it’s not something easily done especially in a world full of noise. Grit is not necessarily a perseverance. You need a clear goal and a passion.

Perseverance without a clear goal and lessons loop is foolish. It's been 23 years I build, try things, and fail a lot. There are times when I were foolish as well. I went the long route of experience and knowledge. I got discouraged, paused everything, take rest, but never stop.

My definition of success, is excellence and quality. One that I can be proud of and fully accountable for myself.
