Quote of the day by Sandra Bullock
“You bounce back by figuring it’s for a reason and it happened to take you to a better place.”In an archival interview, published in cinema.com, Sandra Bullock shared that her failures or disappointments never came from work. The actress said, “If a film doesn’t do well, or if it’s a piece of crap, you have another time to try to do better. There’s nothing you can do about it after the fact. But how do I bounce back from the down things that happen in life? “I’m not sure.”Sandra continued, “It’s not a mistake if you learn from a disappointment and try not to repeat it. That’s sort of the mantra I try to use. It’s okay to screw up even on a daily basis as long as you don’t keep repeating the same screw-up. I suppose you bounce back by just figuring it’s for a reason and it happened to take you to a better place.”This approach to life is a masterclass in acceptance. Sandra’s mantra gives an optimistic view of life.
