Great Work Quotes #17

“I like scars.  You haven’t lived if you haven’t got them.”
~ Chrissie Wellington, Triathlete

I came across this quote in this article, and loved it immediately.  It combines with another favourite quote of mine, “wisdom enters through the wound”.  Wound = scar = wisdom = life.

==> What scars do you have?  What wisdom did you collect on the way?

   Very true. Sounds much better that way than “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”

   It’s from our failures and mistakes that we become smarter and more successful…that’s how you learn right?
