00:00What do you mean by failure? You know, you fail because you set limits. You say, I'm going to invest only this much in this particular project. And having invested this much, if this project gives me what I desire, then I'll call it a success. Otherwise, I'll quit the project. That's what you call as failure.
00:20Why do you ever quit the project? Tell me. If the project is worthy enough, stay put. Don't leave. I've had so many setbacks. I could have quit maybe a hundred times. You need that love. You need to have something worthwhile to do in life. And then thoughts of success and failure do not matter so much. Obviously, you want to succeed. But success then does not remain the central determinant.
00:45The central determinant is love. Irrespective of success, I will do this because I am choiceless.
