Quote by Dale Carnegie

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

Summary

This quote suggests that it is a tragic aspect of human nature that we often delay truly embracing life. Instead of appreciating and living in the present moment, we fixate on an imagined future filled with idealized happiness.

The quote serves as a reminder to stop waiting for something better and start appreciating the present, similar to the image of roses blooming just outside our windows.

We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia.

In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.
