About This Quote

When you learn from people who have been through tough times, they can give you a sense of hope and confidence. The same goes for those who have been through the same situation as them. But, when people don't use the wisdom they have, they choose to do whatever it is that brings them joy or makes them happy. They then apply that into a situation that isn't the same as what they faced before. When you're going through a hard time, take a step back and ask yourself what you could have done differently.
