Nadal on the importance of hard work

While addressing the graduating students, Nadal spoke about how the current generation is getting everything with a click on a mobile phone. However, he reminded students about the importance of hard work and perseverance. Also, he spoke about learning from mistakes and fighting back after a failure.

He said, I know that what is fashionable now is immediacy, and that patience is not a virtue that is highly valued. When we want anything, we just have to pick up the mobile phone and make a purchase. Watch the news, or have the information we need. But today, I would like to remind you that the great goals in life are not achieved overnight, they are achieved by fighting, fighting, and learning from falls. Failure is only bad if you do not know how to get up and fight again.”
