There is one advantage to realizing that you're never going to get it right: you do begin to stop expecting everyone else to get it right too, which makes for less frustration when other people turn out to be just as human as you are.

About This Quote

When you know that you are never going to get it right, it means there is no need to judge others. We all make mistakes and we all make ourselves look like fools. You can’t expect people to always do things the way you think is best. It is not only unrealistic but it’s also not fair. Once you realize that you are not the only one getting things wrong, you can start to live in peace with everyone else.
