About This Quote

When people say that they are going to do something in the future, it is wise to assume that they will fail. This failure will cause them to have to go through the experience of fire in fire, or in other words, it will make them grow. People often fail when they attempt to please others for their own good. But when they are able to do what they know is right for themselves, they are able to accomplish their goals with much less effort.
