You can live in shame, or you can use it to be a force that drives you to accomplish more than most of your peers. Great things, even.
Also, be a certifiable badass
One morning in 1914, Hogg was awakened by a burglar in her bedroom. She confronted the man, who was attempting to steal her jewelry, and not only convinced him to return the jewelry, but “wrote down a name and address, handed it to him and told him to go there that very day to get a job”. When asked why she did that, Hogg responded, “He didn’t look like a bad man.” Later that year, she sailed to Germany, alone. While she was en route, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated, and the day before she arrived, Britain declared war on Germany. The United States was still neutral, however, so Hogg continued her tour of Europe, not leaving until several months later.
