What she had wasn't English and it wasn't a degree. It was resilience, which means waiting for something to happen, and when things got difficult, not quitting and running away.
The people who quit say a sentence like this one. "I applied for a hundred jobs. Nobody called me back. Therefore I'm going to stop." A number, a silence, and a conclusion, and the conclusion arrives at exactly the point where the expectation ran out. When people have the wrong expectation, they show up, and at six months, seven months, they just quit. Their expectation was wrong from the first place. Have a realistic expectation.
So say you did everything. You put the hours in, you watched the videos, you built the project, you applied, and nobody called back.
You did everything they told you for seven months and got nothing back. Who broke the deal?
Nobody. There was no deal. If anyone tells you six months and you're going to be rich, it's not true. I didn't say that in the intro session. I said it takes effort. I said the market is bad. I said the general economy is not good and the interest rate is high. But the knowledge you gain here is going to serve you in the long run, and I said that too.
You don't have a contract from God saying every single thing you do in life is going to make you successful. Show me the contract. Do you have contract? Did God send you contract? There's no such thing. Everything you do, you can fail. But look at it from the other perspective: everything you fail at, you gain tremendous experience from. The only version where nothing comes back is the version where you stop. If you quit, nobody can make you successful. Not me. Not the market. Nobody.
