About This Quote

In the movie “The Departed,” Tommy DeVito says to Matt Damon, "You take people, you put them on a journey, you give them peril, you find out who they really are." He is talking about letting people experience the different sides of themselves. For example in a job interview, a person gets to see how they will react in a stressful situation. In the movie "Jerry Maguire," Tom Cruise's character says that you learn more from failure than from success. In my life I have discovered that the most important things in life are not things which are easy to achieve. When I try to achieve something that is easy, it will be too easy and I won't feel very good about myself.
