About This Quote
When a stone is dropped into a pond, the water continues quivering even after the stone has sunk to the bottom. The water is still moving and acting as it did before the stone was dropped in. In other words, the moment something goes wrong, we should never give up hope. We need to keep fighting and doing our best to improve things until they are fixed.
