When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important. It's hard to understand failure when you're going through it, but in the grand scheme of things it's good to fall down - not because you're drunk and not near stairs.
Interpretation
Taking risks leads to both success and failure, both of which are valuable lessons in life.
Ellen Degeneres emphasizes the importance of risk-taking in personal growth. While success is celebrated, failure is equally significant as it teaches resilience and valuable lessons. During the moments of failure, it may be difficult to see its benefits, but ultimately, those experiences contribute to a better understanding of oneself and the world. Recognizing the importance of both outcomes is essential for overall development and maturity.

If you want to test cosmetics, why do it on some poor animal who hasn't done anything? They should use prisoners who have been convicted of murder or rape instead.

By miracles you would make yourself debtor to Him, while by suffering He may become debtor to you.

Whoever loves, understands what I say.
