Reflection
Mental Fortitude
If you're not falling, you're not learning.
— Laird Hamilton
यदि आप गिर नहीं रहे हैं, तो आप सीख नहीं रहे हैं।
— लेयर्ड हैमिल्टन
Why this matters:
If you’re not falling, you’re not learning. Stability is the enemy of progression. In surfing and in life, if you are always in control, it means you are not pushing the boundaries of your current capacity.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
स्थिरता प्रगति की दुश्मन है। सर्फिंग और जीवन में, यदि आप हमेशा नियंत्रण में हैं, तो इसका मतलब है कि आप अपनी वर्तमान क्षमता की सीमाओं को नहीं बढ़ा रहे हैं।
