Hello friends!
Check this statement out, whatever it means:
A wounded deer leaps the highest.
This is quite a romantic statement and must belong to a poet, right? Well, you got it right. The author of this quote was the famous American poet Emily Dickinson, who was born on this date. She lived quite a peculiar life, about which you can find out more here.
And now, back to the quote of the day. I am entirely sure what Dickinson meant by the above statement and I can only offer my interpretation, so here it is. I see this statement as saying that the one who fails bounces back the highest afterwards. Therefore, we should not fear failure but rather welcome it as a necessary learning experience on the way to success. After failure, we can leap even higher!
Have a high jump today, even after a deep dive!
