About This Quote
Setbacks allow us to take a step back and look at the view from a whole. In this quote, Nelson Mandela says that setbacks allow us to take a step back and look at the view from a whole. He is saying that if you keep fighting, fighting, fighting for something that you want to achieve, you will eventually run into a setback, however small it may seem to be. However, if you take a step back and look at the view from a whole, you will realize that your efforts were not in vain.
