"Every failure will teach you a lesson that you need to learn if you will keep your eyes and ears open and be willing to be taught.  Every adversity is usually a blessing in disguise.  Without reverses and temporary defeat, you would never know the sort of metal of which you are made" ~Unknown~

"Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending in the wind" ~Bruce Lee~
