Linda : Did you know what's viral in our school?

know who the boy is? He is supposed to be Dewa.

opinion?

Here is a post from Leon Ho.
"Fear is part of human nature.
As an entrepreneur, I used to face the fear of failure. My ego and identity became intertwined
with my work. I tried as much as I could to avoid failure and mistakes. When things didn't go
as I planned, I completely shut down. Fortunately, I overcame this unhealthy relationship
with fear of failure, and I believe that you can, too.
Fear of failure will cause us to avoid potentially harmful situations, but it will also keep us
from reaching our full potential. It keeps us from trying, creates self-doubt, stalls progress,
and may lead us to go against our morals. It can be so strong that avoiding fallure eclipses the
motivation to succeed.
