About the Quote
Bad days are called bad for a reason. Actually, for any number of reasons. However, they are considered bad in relation to what is considered good. An occasional bad day reminds us of how good the good days truly are.
One of the things that makes a day good is accomplishment, no matter how large or small. A bad day is a day where nothing gets accomplished in a beneficial way. After all, some accomplishments take place which are negative, and we don't want those accomplishments.
Some accomplishments rely on smaller accomplishments; among them are projects, championships, diplomas, and certifications. There will be occasional bad days during the course of one run at the completion of these major accomplishments. Once the major accomplishment is actually accomplished, the bad days will be things we can laugh about as we celebrate the prize at the end.
