For within your talents lie your ability to do whatever you wish! My wish for you is to challenge the desires deep within your soul. Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.

Time allows us to see where past mistakes can be turned into something good. Mishaps provide an opportunity to forgive ourselves and those who've hurt us in the past. Mistakes come and go, but lessons we learn along the way are invaluable.

When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.
