Failure Quote by Ash Sweeney
“We all make mistakes. The thing is to not lie about them, try to understand what you have done, why you have done it. That way, you can begin to forgive yourself. That's very important. If you don't forgive yourself you will never be able to forgive anybody else and you will go on making the same mistakes forever.”
