What's an English phrase you wish you'd known earlier?

I wanted to encourage someone who made a mistake at work, but I couldn't encourage him well.Now I would like to offer the following words.

Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

This is Michael Jordan's word.

I agree, motivational words can really help lift someone's spirits. Do you think people are more inspired by quotes from famous figures, or do you feel personal, heartfelt encouragement has a stronger impact?

When I face difficulties alone, I am encouraged by the words of wisdom left by great people.
On the other hand, I think personal encouragement resonates more with friends and others.
