About This Quote

This quote illustrates how good people are at seeing the potential of others. This person, Lainna, felt certain that her husband would get a great job after he graduated college. She knew that he was capable of doing great things. And, even though she may have been wrong, she did her best to help him have the life he wanted.

She was right about one thing. Her husband did find a great position in the future. He wasn’t writing about it day after day to describe his current situation.

She was just that good at observing people and the way they worked together.
