About This Quote
Life is a journey and every journey has a beginning, middle and an end. Life is a journey that has its ups and downs, but it is how you handle those ups and downs that defines you as a person. If you never take the wrong road the wrong path will always be there for you to take. Know where your life needs to go before you have been on every road.
There are certain roads that lead to failure and those roads should not be taken unless you have been on all of the roads that lead to success and fulfillment. A person who can accomplish this level of awareness is wise beyond his years.
