Thats what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how weve changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning. – Richard Bach

There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn whatever steps we take, theyre necessary to reach the places weve chosen to go. – Richard Bach
