While watching the movie “Extraction” starring Chris Hemsworth and Rudhraksh Jaiswal, Jaiswal says to Hemsworth, “You drown not by falling into a river, but by staying submerged in it.” Jaiswal said he read it in a book.
For me, the quote speaks to perseverance, commitment, and positivity. The quote was so profound to me that I had to Google it, and I found that it is from Paulo Coelho de Souza, a Brazilian lyricist and novelist. According to Google Books, his works have sold more than 175 million copies worldwide.
Of course, I checked for other Coelho quotes and found many. Another one I like is “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” Dare to try.
