Lewis Hamilton says he thinks “success is short-lived” and adds the mistakes he has made, and still is making, are “what’s making me stronger”.
During his appearance of the Jay Shetty’s On Purpose Podcast, Lewis Hamilton talked about his views on success and failure.
“I think success is short-lived,” the Briton said.
“There’s a lot less learn in success. It’s like the tip of the iceberg. It’s the losses, and it’s the failures and it’s just the perseverance that you need.
“I love that image of the iceberg where you see the sea level, the iceberg on top that everyone sees, but below is what people don’t get to see.

“And it’s relevant for every single person out there. It’s finding your core, it’s letting yourself know it’s okay to feel the pain. It’s okay to accept your failures.
“It’s like it’s just another another notch on your belt that is going to make you stronger and just knowing that that is the case.
“I’ve failed so many more times than I’ve succeeded, so many more, and that people don’t even know maybe necessarily about, or see.
“And still, today, I’m making mistakes but I know that that’s a part of the journey, that’s what I’m then harnessing, and that’s what’s making me stronger,” Hamilton concluded.
