“You don't pass or fail at being a person.”
— Neil Gaiman
Simplified Meaning:
Being a person isn't like taking a test where you can either succeed or fail; it's more about simply living your life and experiencing things as they come. Think about how people grow and change over time. For example, a child learning to ride a bike might stumble or fall a few times. They aren't failing at riding the bike; they're just learning and growing through every try. In life, everyone makes mistakes or faces tough challenges, but these moments don’t define your worth as a person. Instead of thinking of yourself as a success or failure, focus on your experiences, growth, and how you treat others. This way, you can lead a more fulfilling life without the pressure of trying to be perfect all the time.
