"One often learns more from ten days of agony than ten years of contentment"
- Merle Shain
About this Quote
This quote by Merle Shain recommends that tough and painful experiences can frequently teach us more than extended periods of comfort and joy. While contentment may bring a sense of ease and satisfaction, it is through minutes of struggle and difficulty that we are really challenged and required to grow. These moments of agony can push us out of our convenience zones and force us to challenge our weak points and limitations. In contrast, contentment might cause complacency and a lack of inspiration to enhance ourselves. Therefore, this quote advises us to accept the lessons that come from tough times and to not avoid challenges, as they can eventually cause individual growth and development.
