About This Quote

John Lennon said, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” If a person doesn’t stop and think about how they can do better next time, they probably won’t make the best decisions. We often make the same mistakes over and over again. But if we learn from our failures and make wiser decisions as a result, we can avoid those mistakes and live a happier life.
