The bottom line
The journey of Maria Sharapova’s life wasn’t less than any bumpy ride like any of us. But she stands out of the crowd because of the determination and growth mindset.

You will fail several times, and the world will watch it. So accept your failures, trust yourself and you will definitely prevail.
