Hi all, this is my first big talk in person and on stage. I have never done this before and it’s really important for me this goes well. Thanks to all for watching, liking, commenting and sharing. This means a lot to me
This feeling that failure as an opportunity to grow is maybe a learnt experience. You can understand it in theory, but experiencing it is such a different thing.
I think this ‘never give up’ mentality has lead to a whole lot of mental health issues around the world. Sometime, giving up is the healthiest thing to do.
Isn't it interesting how much society tends to see-saw on this subject? Like how we give participation trophies to little kids and then how much of an issue some people make of that... I'm glad we're starting to move towards a healthy dialogue about the benefits of failing.
I'm sorry but to me anyone who speaks english as a second language is already killing it. Being an immigrant in general means you've already overcome some pretty huge challenges. This woman should be so proud of herself.
I've always thought that fear is just anxiety about not knowing, and teaching ourselves to be excited about what might happen instead of fearing it can be really empowering.
I have never had the experience of moving to another country, and I never really considered how hard it would be starting on the back foot and having to not only qualify for a job, but also learn all the social expectations and nuances too. What a strong woman.
Comfort leads to compliance. There was some real motivation in her life, I don’t know if many people can understand what it means to come from so little and what it does to you.
This is an inspirational story told through the life of an immigrant who has risen through personal challenges and by not giving up. A good reminder of the power of human determination to achieve something worthwhile
"Failure is an opportunity to grow" Alina you are a true inspiration, thank you for sharing your story. Let your failure fuel your motivation to do better, stay resilient & take action!
Can you imagine flying for four hours just for a job interview?? I mean I guess it would give you enough time to mentally prepare but man, that's some serious commitment.
There is so much power in turning your failures into opportunities and I love that this woman had found the courage to talk about hers and use them to encourage other people to examine this stuff!
Alina I love you!! Your talk is so inspirational and the story about when your colleague asked about your weekend was so hilarious. Well done for never giving up!
Clearly her grandmother was a powerful force in her life. Yes, she sounds brutal and hard, but isn’t she a large part of why Alina made so much of her life? True example of tough love
I love what she says about being honest with yourself and not burying your failure stories. That stuff absolutely helps shape the narrative of who we are and I hate that we've been conditioned into thinking a bit of rejection is the worst thing in the world.
This talk really made me appreciate all the comforts I have in my life and how little I had to fight for. These opportunities she had to desperately struggle for were given to me to take or leave as I liked. I admire her so much.
Alina, thank you! Thank you for being courageous enough to be this vulnerable and unpack just how important it is to persevere despite our obstacles and mistakes, because that's when we learn and grow the most! You are a FORCE! So glad I found this!
Wonderful talk Alina👌 I believe there are many other women who can recognise themselves through your story. Well done for taking the courage to share your experience. 👏
I love this Alina! Such an amazingly strong mindset and such a valuable message, there will always be setbacks but you can't let those disappointments break you!
I have failed too, but I find it so hard after several rejections to keep going. I just want to do something different and accept I am not that good at that.
Alina, this is so powerful! You are so empowering and inspirational. "Failure is an opportunity to grow", the concept of this should be taught in schools.
So inspirational... especially for a developing country audience, where the age old mindset still disrupts our life choices. Thank you Alina and keep rocking! 🤩
What an inspiring story, plenty of good advice here. I can’t believe this is your first time delivering a talk like this, it’s such a clear, warm, and engaging speech.
Failure right here too- married too young, divorced too young, never had a career, never settled down, does not want children. As much as my family loves and supports me, the undertone in their comments like ‘You will meet someone one day’ and ‘maybe you could go back to that job and use your degree’ always shout their real thoughts on me and my life.
Fantastic, talk Alina, So much of what you spoke about resonated, and yes rather then seeing things not working, taking this and seeing it as an opportunity, to develop and grow is magnificent.
Such a great talk Alina. Your journey is certain to inspire many. At Gen Z Talks, we are very proud of your continued success and to have you as one of our mentors. Keep up the great work!
I think half of this is a good message! Lol while it's awesome to be able to embrace your failures, you also need to be assessing how realistic your goals are.

Алина, большое спасибо, очень сильное выступление и история!
@@maximchemerkin5815 thanks a lot. Please share wider to keep the message spreading
Congratulations Alina for such an impactful and eminently delivered talk!!!
@@JozePiranian thanks so much, please share wider to spread the message!
Well done Alina! You are such an inspiration.
“Instead of letting failure transform us, we self-sabotage our dreams”. I am just going to sit with that for a little while…
To have spent a life without failure would have been to have never lived. The struggle is the price we pay to discover joy and purpose.
That first memory of her mum must have been such a hectic experience for it to have had that strong of an impact on her.
"Instead of letting the failure transform us, we self-sabotage our dreams." This is really stirring some things up for me right now.
I'm going to watch this every time I don't hear back after a job interview.
This feeling that failure as an opportunity to grow is maybe a learnt experience. You can understand it in theory, but experiencing it is such a different thing.

It is about finding balance
Isn't it interesting how much society tends to see-saw on this subject? Like how we give participation trophies to little kids and then how much of an issue some people make of that... I'm glad we're starting to move towards a healthy dialogue about the benefits of failing.
Sending this to my daughter, she is a GREAT EXAMPLE for all women.
I'm sorry but to me anyone who speaks english as a second language is already killing it. Being an immigrant in general means you've already overcome some pretty huge challenges. This woman should be so proud of herself.
Thanks Maki, if the message resonates please share wider
We learn so much when we "fail" - nothing wrong with falling as long as we always get up and learn from what we can.
She's absolutely right and more people need to embrace their failures with a healthy attitude!
Very important words, we never fail we just learn..
I've always thought that fear is just anxiety about not knowing, and teaching ourselves to be excited about what might happen instead of fearing it can be really empowering.
I fully agree
Yeah but, as she points out in the beginning of the talk, failure is subjective!
There is aloooooooooooooot alot ALOT to unpack here. I'm thinking that first interaction with her mother was incredibly traumatic
This was a really empowering talk but I don't know that I agree about NEVER giving up. Surely sometimes you just have to admit defeat.
There is so much merit in failing, firstly it really makes us reflect on how badly we want to achieve something!
I agree but it does take time to get to this conclusion and feeling through it
I think it's safe to say she's fulfilled that promise to herself! Amazing.
I have never had the experience of moving to another country, and I never really considered how hard it would be starting on the back foot and having to not only qualify for a job, but also learn all the social expectations and nuances too. What a strong woman.
How could you not give someone a job after hearing they'd made that kind of effort just to get to the interview?? Truly amazing dedication.
Those early experiences made her! I would not wish them on my children, but I can see how they drove her to achieve and strive for a better life.
Dave, appreciate your kind words
Lessons every day, even when you dont fail. Learn Humility too!
Agree!
I love this talk, she is the new woman!
Shane, thanks so much. Wishing you a great day
This woman is incredible! So much motivation and drive.
I can just picture her as a young girl teaching herself english, so much determination and resilience!
😀

BRILLIANT talk and she has awesome style
This is an inspirational story told through the life of an immigrant who has risen through personal challenges and by not giving up. A good reminder of the power of human determination to achieve something worthwhile
Yes, I hope it helps the immigrants globally to thrive & support each other
There is so much poise in her stance. No fidgeting or moving around, just the message.
Great to hear, Jhon
Failing at something is the first step towards achieving it! If you want it badly enough, keep trying, and eventually you'll succeed.
Nothing short of an inspiration right here!
Wow I admire her mentality so much
True, thanks Alina good wake call for all of us!
So true, so needed so many times in my life when I was ready to walk away!
She is so inspiring ❣ 💕 💞
her speech is really like native English
She would be a great mentor!
Absolutely, and appreciate the failures for the learning experience they are!
What an incredibly powerful presence this woman has.
A natural born leader and influencer!
What she says around the 3:30 mark is so simple yet powerful... it's all about that mindset!
Yes!
"Failure is an opportunity to grow"
Alina you are a true inspiration, thank you for sharing your story. Let your failure fuel your motivation to do better, stay resilient & take action!
I hope it will make a difference
So inspiring❤🌠🌟
I love this talk, so much truth.
Can you imagine flying for four hours just for a job interview?? I mean I guess it would give you enough time to mentally prepare but man, that's some serious commitment.
Thanks for your comment 🤙
Awesome talk Alina👌🏻…
‘Failure is an opportunity to grow’ you are real inspiration to others.
Even the thought of putting myself through that kind of mental anguish brings me down... this woman is so mentally strong it's crazy.
There is so much power in turning your failures into opportunities and I love that this woman had found the courage to talk about hers and use them to encourage other people to examine this stuff!
Yes. It was in parts difficult to share on stage
Agreed!
Wow what a fascinating woman.
Very captivating speaker, thank you!
What an absolute trooper Alina, inspired by your journey.
Alina I love you!! Your talk is so inspirational and the story about when your colleague asked about your weekend was so hilarious. Well done for never giving up!
Alina, your journey has been filled with such hardship but you are clearly such a light in this world! Thank you for sharing!
HAHAHAHAH! As someone who was a foreigner living in England for 2 years, her story about ‘I’m fine’ is extremely accurate!
Clearly her grandmother was a powerful force in her life. Yes, she sounds brutal and hard, but isn’t she a large part of why Alina made so much of her life? True example of tough love
WOW!!!!! In so many ways!!!!!!
beautiful perspective and one that many of us could take on board in these trying times.
Bravo!! You have accomplished so much despite all your hardship!
I love what she says about being honest with yourself and not burying your failure stories. That stuff absolutely helps shape the narrative of who we are and I hate that we've been conditioned into thinking a bit of rejection is the worst thing in the world.
I believe in being authentic
Wow! This is amazing. ❤️🙏You are so transparent and honest. It’s so beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you!
Captivating from start to finish, well done Alina I was enthralled.
From such difficult beginnings, she has come so far. Truly inspiring.
This talk really made me appreciate all the comforts I have in my life and how little I had to fight for. These opportunities she had to desperately struggle for were given to me to take or leave as I liked. I admire her so much.
What a fabulous message, Alina. And your poise! Just wow. Congratulations on your success…..and your “failures!” Thank you for sharing your message!!
Thanks a lot Anne
It might be possible to push through and beyond failure to a certain point, but after a while it becomes disheartening and it wears you down.
Alina, thank you! Thank you for being courageous enough to be this vulnerable and unpack just how important it is to persevere despite our obstacles and mistakes, because that's when we learn and grow the most! You are a FORCE! So glad I found this!
Wonderful talk Alina👌
I believe there are many other women who can recognise themselves through your story.
Well done for taking the courage to share your experience. 👏
So much dedication at a young age. To me she is strong and accomplished. Success is subjective.
Off subject, but love what she is wearing.
I can't help but wonder how harrowing that first experience of her mother was, that it made THAT strong of an impact.
Great talk!
I love this Alina! Such an amazingly strong mindset and such a valuable message, there will always be setbacks but you can't let those disappointments break you!
Needed this today!
A powerful and inspirational story of personal experiences, delivered with drama and conviction. Well done, Alina!
Thanks a lot Dalim

Hi Nicola, yes it is definitely first with the actual audience in front of me. I used to do a lot of Zoom talks in COVID
Great story and great message. Turning failure into something that helps you - love that.
Blaine, thanks for watching
"Challenge yourself"
People look for fire outside but throughout the journey it is sitting inside them.

Thanks for sharing Khloe, appreciate your honesty
Having 3 degrees is easier than buiding up a good relationship :) I've always known that, and Alina just proved it one more time)))
Extraordinary talk Alina, truly inspirational. Very happy and trilled to see you do so well. All the very best for your future endeavors!

thats true!
Best way to inspire is by taking about one’s failures openly. That’s a lot courage to be appreciated.
Well done Alina.
I hope it helps others
The stuff about her grandmother made me feel really sorry for all of that generation. So incredibly glad we've moved past that kind of mentality.
Thank u for that speech! ⭐️
Thanks 🙏 for your support
Very inspiring talk Alina. Thank you for sharing!
