- Another lesson is to understand that work is temporary, but personal growth and experience is eternal, while the unexpected can lead to new opportunities and skills.
- Change is constant, and embracing it helps us to grow, develop, remain flexible, and seize new opportunities, while reframing challenges as stepping stones can help to make sense of them and lead to further success.
