Post a CommentI think what he's saying is that we can learn from our errors. After all, what would we learn in life if everything always went right? I've always believed that we can learn something positive from the negative in life. Wonderful choice this week. I enjoy reading the quotes you choose. They really make a person think.
Sounds as wonderfully profound as Ghandi himself. Thank you for this week's quote. I love the ones you choose. They are always loaded with such meaning.
