Failure doesn’t define you

Failure doesn't define you

Professional and personal life will be filled with mistakes — big and small. And that’s perfectly normal. No one is exempt from failures, believe me.

We all fall. We all hit the ground. And not just once, but many times throughout life. It’s inevitable. If you’re alive, you’ll have moments when you’ll be knocked down.

But the difference between success and failure is simple: do you stay down or do you get back up?

 

Failures do not define you

The fact that you’re still here, reading this right now, is proof that your mistakes haven’t stopped you.

And if they haven’t stopped you until now, that means one thing:
They don’t have the power to stop you.

 

How to turn mistakes into lessons

  1. Accept that failure is inevitable:
    There is no success without obstacles. Every mistake is an opportunity to learn something new about yourself and your path.
  2. Evaluate, don’t criticize yourself:
    Instead of blaming yourself, ask yourself: “What can I learn from this?” or “How can I do better next time?”
  3. Keep getting up:
    Even if it feels tough, take one small step forward. Every move forward counts.
  4. Remind yourself of your resilience:
    If you’ve overcome obstacles before, you can overcome this one too.

 

Conclusion: The power is in your hands

Mistakes are inevitable. They are part of the process of becoming better and stronger. What truly matters is not that you fell, but that you choose to get back up.

 

You’re here. You’re still trying. And that’s proof that nothing can truly stop you. Keep going — because the power is within you.

Get rid of excuses in UX

In UX design, phrases like “I can’t” or “I’m not allowed” shouldn’t exist. If you don’t have time, money, or support, that doesn’t mean you can’t do anything. It means you need to be creative and find a solution. Don’t wait for perfect conditions – act, even when it’s tough.

There is no single “Right Way” in UX

You may have seen a lot of diagrams, articles, courses, and videos telling you that there is a perfect method for doing UX, design, or development “the right way.” The truth? There is no universal recipe.   Why is there no one-size-fits-all method? Because each project, team, client, and product

Negativity is a habit

Negativity is a habit

Negativity starts as a reaction. If we are not aware of it and do not fight it, it turns into a mindset. What I want you to understand is that many of these reactions are simply physiological. This means that, for the most part, focusing on negativity is under our
