Great quote
If you subscribe to my newsletter, you know that I like to end it with an inspirational success quote. Usually I have one that has a real impressive person quoted. I took my family to a movie tonight, though—finally seeing Batman Begins—and was impressed with a dandy quote from it.
Hey, it's not as impressive as quoting Winston Churchill or Mohatmas Ghandi, but it's an insightful quote worth repeating:
"The reason we fall is so we learn how to get up."
So true. Nobody ever admires those who go through life seemingly untouched by trouble. We admire those who learn to overcome whatever obstacles life places in their way. How we deal with troubles, how we deal even with failure is the measure of our success in life.
Troubles—even failures—are not unfortunate setbacks. They are what define us and give us the opportunity to grow. It's not where we eventually end up in our life's journey that's important. It's what we do with the misfortunes along the way.
