What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?

I used to believe that hard work always pays off.

But over time, I realized life isn’t that simple.

Effort is necessary, but never enough on its own.

Luck, timing, people — they all play their part.

Still, I don’t see hard work as meaningless.

It just shifted, from “guaranteed success”

to “worth giving it a try.”

Somehow, that softer mindset feels more real.
