Learning from mistakes Quote by Heather Killough-Walden
““Jack, being young is so hard. You knew that instinctively and that’s why you chose to wait. I’ve seen men and women in their sixties, in wheel chairs or in physical therapy who state flat-out that they would never again wish to be in their teens. Because it’s just too painful. It’s all about learning from mistakes, and that is never a comfortable thing. It’s all trial and error. Sometimes, the error part leaves scars.””
