Twice Lost, Twice Found: A Blueprint for Starting Over in Life | Mohit Bansal | TEDxPEC
What happens when your life's grand plan collapses not once, but twice? In this deeply personal and inspiring talk, entrepreneur Mohit Bansal shares his remarkable journey of navigating profound setbacks to achieve success against the odds.He begins with the crushing disappointment of failing to get into his dream university, a moment that left him feeling utterly lost. Forging a new path in the United States, he rebuilt his ambitions, only to face a severe medical crisis that forced him to abandon everything and return home to India, once again at square one.Rather than a story of defeat, this is a testament to the power of resilience. Mohit reveals the three core principles that became his compass during his darkest times: an unwavering love for his goals, the underrated power of discipline, and the transformative impact of micro-habits. He explains how these tools helped him not only to recover but to eventually build a thriving artificial intelligence company. Discover how to nurture the "superhuman" within yourself and learn that being lost is often a necessary detour on the path to finding your true purpose.Edited By: Mayank Bhatnagar
