About This Quote
When Gussie, the protagonist of the movie "Life is Beautiful", looks at his reflection in the mirror he sees a person who has been beaten down beyond all hope. He is completely broken with no self-worth. However, with the little bit of what he has left he decides that he isn't going to let this situation beat him. He takes it upon himself to fight back against his situation until he can find what it takes to find some motivation within himself.
He reminds himself that it is through struggle that one can achieve greatness. If you are someone who is constantly being beaten down you need to remember that your goals are still possible, it's just going to take time and persistence to achieve them.
