About This Quote
This quote by Robert H. Schuller sums up those who refuse to grow up and those who never will. Whether the person lives a full life or not, he or she would realize that they are not as they imagined themselves to be. For those who live a full life, their dreams and goals would be achieved and they would grow older and wiser. Though we may never be fully satisfied with our current selves, we should not give up and stay stagnant.
