“Nothing in the world is ever completely wrong. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.”

Paulo Coelho

Simplified Meaning:

Even things that seem completely useless or wrong can sometimes be right in certain situations. Think about a clock that doesn't work anymore. Even though it doesn't show the correct time most of the day, it still shows the right time two times every day. This shows that even when something seems entirely bad or broken, there can still be moments when it is correct or useful. For example, if someone gives you advice that you don't think is good, it might still have some truth or helpful parts to it. In your life, try not to dismiss things too quickly; even if they seem wrong, they might help you in ways you don't expect.
