"Estoy convencido de que la vida es 10% lo que me sucede y 90% cómo reacciono ante ello"
— Charles R. Swindoll
Simplified Meaning:
This quote is saying that what happens in our lives isn't as important as how we handle those events. For example, if you lose your job, the fact that you lost it is the 10%. The other 90% is your response to losing the job—do you get depressed and give up, or do you start looking for a new job and maybe find an even better one? It's about focusing more on our reactions than on the events themselves. By choosing a positive reaction, we can make a bad situation better. This idea teaches us that we have control over our happiness and success by managing our responses to situations.
