Hamilton said, “Don’t give up. You know like the easiest thing for us all to do in anything, whether it’s like your diet or it’s working out or whether it’s your studying or at your work, the easiest thing is to give up, and that should never ever be an option.”

“And you can never go back. So it’s how you, like Toto, is saying, it’s analyzing what could you do better. Can you prepare better? Could you sacrifice something to be better prepared? Could you have set that better than before? Whatever it may be.”

“And applying to moving forward. Again it’s not how you fall, it’s how you get back up. That’s the theory that I have always applied to my failures,” Hamilton concluded.
