Today was another significant moment of my life. I really suffered today, but I appreciate the journey. Today, I went hustling, trying to get some money to buy food for my siblings and me because there was nothing at home as usual 😭. I went house-to-house picking metal scraps under the rain, tired 😤, hungry 😩, and cold 🥶, just so I could sell them and get some money.
If I Fail Today

The Lesson
I learned this hustling mentality from someone who always says,
"If you want to make money, that means you have to hustle."
For a long time, I didn't take this seriously 😐. I thought I could find shortcuts and make cool cash without much hard work. But today, life taught me to believe that hard work and perseverance are essential.
Growth Mindset
It's funny, confusing, and heartbreaking now, but I believe that
"If I fail today, it doesn't mean I'm failing; it means I'm growing."
This mindset shift has been crucial for me, and I'm determined to keep pushing forward.
The Journey Ahead
This experience has motivated me to work even harder on my projects, including Rocjet Technologies Ltd. I'm grateful for the journey, and I'm excited to see what the future holds.
