"Let me tell you how you measure a man
when his world starts to fall see how tall he stands
it matters not how many times you fall down
what matters most is how many times you can rise
mistakes build character
and character can take you places money can't"

I was recently bored so I decided to get on youtube and find songs to listen to that I hadn't heard before. I love listening to music and lyrics so I clicked a video called "Remember Me" by T.I. and Mary J. Blige both artists that I love listening to so I was excited to hear the collaboration. When it started playing I heard T.I. say the above words as it shows him walking into a jail cell dressed in the notorious orange jumpsuit I realized how true these words are. T.I. was known to be the stereotypical rapper that only cares about exploiting women doing drugs etc but once he got charged with gun charges and sentenced to jail he completely changed his tune so to speak. I believe fully that "Mistakes build character" I think we learn more from our mistakes than our successes.
