Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell made the famous announcement “When one door closes another opens”. This quote may seem overly optimistic; but, there are many scientists and entrepreneurs that originally failed in their endeavors only to learn from their mistakes and move forward. 

Alexander Graham Bell had many failures and setbacks in both his career and private life. However, he did not use these as reasons to quit; rather, he forged new opportunities for himself, his family, and his career.

Missed Opportunities:

This quote is about missed opportunities. Many people do not like and, therefore, resist change. Not all change is bad, but sometimes the ambiguity of the change makes it difficult to see beyond. A closed door to some may mean loss or failure rather than an opportunity for development and growth. Those who do not dwell on what might have been but continue on to what could be are able to see the open door before them and follow Alexander Graham Bell’s advice.
