Paulo CoelhoThe secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.
About This Quote
In this quote from the movie The Secret, Oprah Winfrey is saying that the secret to a happy life is to make a mistake and learn from it. If you fall down seven times, get up eight times, and learn from it. This is a good saying for teenagers because they tend to make a lot of mistakes and fear getting back up. However, once you understand that all mistakes are just lessons in life, then you can continue on with your life as best as you can.
