About This Quote
This quote by author Ernest Hemingway is a great reminder that life is to be lived, not merely endured. We all have our own lives to live, so why are we wasting time thinking about what could have been? Look back at the mistakes you’ve made in life. I bet you’ll see that you can learn something from them. And if you’re willing to give yourself another chance, then you should take that chance, because it will help you grow as a person.
