Via Seb's Open Research which I usually read for far more exciting things, however this is a marvellous quote:
Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?"Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night."
Not only is this truly funny (well it made me laugh out loud!) but it also highlights an important aspect of our personalities - 'our inner voice'. The voice which attempts to pull back our sense of the real and of the true. Even when we tell lies to ourself our little voice comes back with a good sense of reality. While to most people the quote may appear sad, I think its extremely positive, because its the first step along the road to realising our fears, accepting where we are and moving on.
Ask yourself where you went wrong. Answer it. Learn from it, if you can, and then put it behind you. Even if it does take more than one night. :)
