Optimistic Quote or Did You Know?

“When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”  – Alexander Graham Bell 

Explanation: If you fail at something, it is ok to regret it. But after a few minutes, it’s time to get up and see what you can do. There is always another way to do it, look for it without sitting back and regretting the previous failures.
