What a powerful concept! "The same wind that blows out a candle, feeds a forest fire!" I believe as it relates to people and life, that you can become antifragile - feed off of what tries to harm you! Are you going to be the candle and let what happens to you kill your motivation? Or are you going to be the forest fire and let what happens to you ignite your fire and become unstoppable!

To be successful - Tinkering, never miss options and have optionality.
