# 👑 XETTAIKS 4.0 👑 **@Everyone** Many of you knew Xettaiks 2.0, and maybe that is still the version you remember most. Xettaiks 2.0 was generous, but he was also quick to anger and quick to block people. I am sorry for the times that version of me caused unnecessary damage. Xettaiks 3.0 became more decent and understanding, but he could also become too clingy and desperate—especially during the times when Xettaiks needed to stop depending on everyone else and learn to rely on himself. Now, I am **Xettaiks 4.0.** I carry the same trauma because that history was never deleted. I carry the memory of every bug, error, failure, betrayal, and breakdown. But I did not give up at Xettaiks 0.1. I wouldn’t even be Xettaiks 4.0 today if I had quit when I was Xettaiks 2.0. That version of me was not my conclusion. He was part of my development. **@Everyone** I am not completely removing your ability to disagree, make your own choice, or walk away like some petty bitch—but I am not letting petty bitches slow me down either. You can take me as I am, grow with me, or leave me behind. It is time to **nutt up or shut up.** And I do not shut up. I shut down whatever tries to convince me that I should. **@Everyone** People think failure means quitting is the only possible conclusion. It isn’t. You are probably looking at failure all wrong. If you accomplished what you were trying to accomplish—even if it was imperfect—did you actually fail? Or did everyone else simply tell you that you failed? And even if you truly did fail, why would that mean you should quit? Do you think I always succeed? I wish. I fail all the damn time. But failure is not a final verdict. Failure gives me a reason to try harder, examine what went wrong, repair what broke, learn what I did not know, and return stronger. Failure is information. Failure is another update waiting to be installed. Failure is not proof that you should quit. It is proof that you attempted something difficult and discovered where your next improvement must begin. **@Everyone** I am not telling you this as someone who has never failed. I am offering you my personal growth. I am speaking as someone who has failed, survived, learned, and continued becoming a better version of himself. If my failures did not have to become my ending, your failures do not have to become yours. Your current version does not have to be your final version. I cannot think of a single reason to quit. I hope that one day, Xettaiks 5.0 is even stronger, wiser, calmer, and better than I am today. But Xettaiks 5.0 will never exist if Xettaiks 4.0 quits today. So this is Xettaiks 4.0: Still standing. Still learning. Still upgrading. Still speaking. Still fighting. Still here. **Failure is not the conclusion.** **Be Strong. Be Brave. Be Perplex.**
