What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Zamir Cohen’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

when a person fails stumbles or makes a mistake lacks wisdom they might give up but if they are wise they return to the starting point they say yes I made a mistake it didn't work out but they don't despair most people who succeeded in this world in all kinds of fields didn't do so because they were necessarily smarter than everyone else they succeeded because they were consistent they didn't give up even when they faced setbacks they tried again think about the pioneers of Aviation how many times did they fail over and over again anyone else in their place might have quit and if they had given up we wouldn't have air travel today but they persisted even when everyone mocked and ridiculed them there are many intelligent people in the world but true wisdom combines both the mind with the heart a wise person doesn't give up as the sages explain wisdom manifests in two ways first through reflection returning to the beginning after a failure no matter the field whether in everyday life or spiritual Pursuits a person aiming to grow spiritually for example might try stumble and rise again only to fall once more at some point they might say to themselves how much
