Small side note anecdote? On resilience foolishness or bravery?

You decide:

I landed once in Sydney as a broke student – 90 Sterling in cash, my old busking guitar and a night in a hostel booked. No grants, no safety net, just a dream and some Irish stubbornness to fulfil a wild dream to study in Australia. I arranged it all with my ‘home’ university Scotland, no small project for first year there too. As their first ever student to do it, like that.

I worked full-time hours across part-time jobs: Paddy’s Market, waiting tables in Glebe, anything that paid, while juggling lectures across campuses.

Eventually, I took a 100% commission job selling vacuum cleaners – pure cold calls, no base pay. For months I made nothing. At one point I was down to $20 and ready to quit. Then I finally landed a sale. I kept showing up, learned the pitch, and within months climbed from nothing to No.1 seller in Australia and New Zealand. I still have the faxed weekly scores as proof. It was also a message to move forward.

That helped pay some bills, kept me in uni, and taught me the value of persistence, resilience, and showing up when it’s hardest. Never give up.

It was bitter sweet but real. I also learned of true distance when my brother called during exams with news of sudden passing of our father. So life happens fast as we are reminded from time to time.

Lesson? 'Dan't wait to be great.'

Thanks for reading.
