Prologue

Everyone in the world is good at something. Whether you've perfected it or are just decent at it, it's there. You may not know what it is that you're good at but eventually you'll find it. Or maybe you won't.

I'm good at just two things.

Failure and running.

The way I see it, failure isn't the end nor is it the time to give up. Instead, it's the opportunity to begin again; the time to be smarter.

When you fail, you get to eliminate the ways that don't work. You get one step closer to succeeding because each failure shows you what didn't work. Instead of giving up, push yourself further to find what does work.

Running. When I say that I don't mean track or cross county - that means nothing. Running as in running away.

"Even when you have gone as far as you can, and everything hurts, and you are staring at the spectre of self-doubt, you can find a bit more strength deep inside you, if you look closely enough."

It's not what I chose to be good at but I guess being on the run my whole life, it was destined to be what I did best.

Some days are stars, some days are stones but in the end, they are all rocks that we can build on top of.
