...stupidity is one of the two things we see most clearly in retrospect. The other is missed chances.
Sep 29, 2025
I think I could look back through the past few years at missed opportunities and stuff, but one thing I have learned is not to dwell on missed chances or times where you have failed.
As mankind grew obsessed with its hours, the sorrow of lost time became a permanent hole in the human heart. People fretted over missed chances, over inefficient days; they worried constantly about how long they would live, because counting life’s moments had led, inevitably, to counting them down. Soon, in every nation and in every language, time became the most precious commodity.
I never miss a good chance to shut up
Don't worry about failures, worry about the chances you miss when you don't even try.
The past, for everyone, is full of missed chances, surviving to understand them, if not set them straight, is one of the things that makes the next breath worth taking.
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
