Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse as he is leaping.

Half the failures in life arise from pulling in one's horse

Summary

This quote suggests that many failures in life occur when one hesitates or tries to stop something in motion. When a horse is leaping, it is important to let it continue its movement without disrupting its rhythm. Similarly, in life, opportunities and challenges often require boldness, perseverance, and a willingness to take risks. However, if one becomes overly cautious or hesitant, they might miss out on potential successes or fail to fully commit to their endeavors, resulting in missed opportunities and failures.

It's easy to look at people and make a quick judgments about them, their present and their past, but you'd be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight. and more often then not, it's lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul.
