Talking Points
- When we face challenges, it's important to reflect on how we respond. Remember, "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." - Winston Churchill
- Reflecting on our own reactions can help us understand our strengths and areas for growth. As Albert Einstein said, "In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity."
- It's also valuable to observe how others respond to challenges. Maya Angelou once said, "I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it."
