Just for kicks my partner, Osvaldo, and I, Jocelyn, will blog about a quote of happiness. The quote is, “Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is” by Maxim Gorky. To us this quote means that in life you have to take risks to be able to experience their full potential. This quote stood out to us from a list of quotes we found in the Internet. It stood out because we both had the same experience with each other. We both had the same project and I wanted to create a project that was very creative but Osvaldo wanted to create a simple dull project. He wasn’t very expressive with the project and I knew he could do better. So then one day I was able to talk him into doing a long creative version of our project. At first he wasn’t very interested but as we kept going he started to get more into it. Than when we finish he was very happy with our result. He was able to reach his full potential and be very happy at the end. This quote is very important because it is a lesson that everyone can learn. If you reach your full potential and take risks then you will be very happy.
