I think in some ways you learn more from the things you don’t like than the things you do.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that we can often learn more from experiences or things that we don't enjoy or prefer, compared to the things we already like. This is because when we encounter something we don't like, we're forced to think more deeply about it, try to understand it better, and figure out why we feel that way. This process of analyzing and reflecting on the things we dislike can help us grow and learn in ways that simply enjoying something we already like may not.
