About This Quote
A friend of mine told me to take everything one bird at a time. He said that when you're in the middle of something, don't let yourself get too excited. Don't allow yourself to get too excited about your goals or dreams because that will just make you more likely to fail. He said that when you fall down, just get back up and think about the next bird. That way, you can keep on going until you reach your goal.
