About This Quote

The quote above was written by Dr. Seuss, author of numerous children’s books. The great thing about this quote is that it captures the essence of how many people feel about themselves. When someone is down or sad, they often blame themselves for everything that goes wrong in their life.

When they are happy, they think that others owe them something because of their happiness. Failing to recognize the power of repetition, they think that things will never change for the better. Overall, this quote speaks to the human tendency to look at problems as permanent and inevitable rather than temporary and removable.
