Summary
This quote, often attributed to the 13th-century Persian poet Rumi, suggests that personal growth and self-improvement cannot be achieved without experiencing challenges and adversity. If one becomes easily irritated or disheartened by every obstacle or inconvenience they encounter, they will never develop resilience or learn valuable lessons. Just as a mirror needs to be polished through friction and rubbing, our characters and inner selves can only be refined and enhanced by embracing and navigating through life's difficulties.
