Marsha is the host of WQWWC

One of the biggest assets humans have been blessed with is adaptability. If things get tough, the resilient nature of humans makes them adapt to the circumstances, bit by bit.
Enthusiasm is common. Endurance is rare.”
― Angela Duckworth
We do start with a lot of enthusiasm but people stop trying when faced with difficulties. We need to endure to succeed.

I love Khalil Gibran and his wisdom. This is such a meaningful statement about how pain and hardship strengthen our souls and give us the courage to go forward in life.

Someone who hasn’t faced failure, cannot succeed. By failing and falling, we learn how to do things right.

One very important thing to remember is not to grow bitter after failure but to be better. If we don’t learn this important distinction, we won’t learn anything at all.

Sadje, I loved the Khalil Gibran quote too. Courage is the link that ties these two characteristics together. We have to be brave and step out. Well don, Sadje.

I love all of these, Sadje. Of course, Khalil Gibran is one of my favorite poets, so I am partial to that quote, which is profound and true.

I know all about that adapting. Since I got my trigger thumb I’ve slowly stopped bending it and now rely on my fingers instead and yes I envy chimps their opposable thumbs

All beautiful quotes. There’s great lesson in failure and overcoming tough times. Failure tells us what not to do next time and brings us a step closer to the destination.
