Quote of the Day: Maya Angelou

by Sep 14, 2017

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.”

― Maya Angelou

One’s professional and personal life can be full of ups and downs. As challenging as the defeats can be, it’s important to take them in stride and learn from them. The lessons we learn from setbacks are the silver lining to experiencing failures; ultimately this is how one can grow both professionally and personally.
