- Stay loose

- Find your people
Know your limits
Michelle Yeoh emphasizes the importance of understanding both your internal and external limits, as this knowledge can guide your actions and decisions.

Quotations
I trained in my mind to be still, to silence the whisper of self-doubt.
我訓練自己保持平靜，以平息自我懷疑的低語
- I trained in my mind
- 思想或內心層面上進行自我訓練
- to be still
- 保持平靜，意指靜下心來，使自己不受干擾
- to silence the whisper
- 以平息…的低語
- 描述了減少內心自我懷疑的聲音
- of self-doubt
- 自我懷疑
- 低語的來源是內心的不安
Limitations set by yourself give you boundaries to respect; limitations set by others give you boundaries to bust through.
Learning how to fall teaches you how to land and learning to land gives you the courage to jump higher.
The truth is I could not have done any of this alone. My achievements are the results of those around me who offered and continue to offer support and belief.
There are times where as much as I don’t want to let myself down, I don’t want to let them down even more.
I stand on the shoulders of those who have come before me and I am energized and inspired by those who come after me.
I am honored to have been one small voice at the beginning of your journey.
