Welcome ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another video. I am Rabbi Elias Zeytouneh and here is today's message. Did you ever think: How did I learn how to walk? Well, I know how to walk now because when I was a baby, I tried to walk and fell. But I didn't stop there. I got up, dusted myself off, and tried to walk again. I probably fell again and walked again until I was able to perfect the task of walking.
Ever wonder how you talk? Well, I tried to talk when I was a baby. I probably mumbled a little bit, didn't get the sounds quite right, didn't forfeit, and tried again. Failed, tried again. Failed, tried again. How did I ride a bike? The same way. How did I learn how to swim? The same way.
So why is it now, as an intellectually enhanced adult, that when I fail, I stop trying? Ladies and gentlemen, Borei Olam (Creator of the world) wants you to fail, and to try again, and to fail and try again, so that way you can perfect whatever task it is you're embarking upon. So next time you fail at something—I don't know, a business meeting, a shidduch (matchmaking) date, a speech, whatever it might be—pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and try again. Because by doing so, that's what you do. That's how you become a more perfect person. Rabbi Eliezer Zeytouneh, Hashem loves you! Have a wonderful, wonderful day.
