Proverb

What is the origin of the proverb "when one door closes, another opens" and when to use it?

The origin of the proverb "when one door closes, another opens" is often attributed to Alexander Graham Bell, though variations of this idea have appeared in different cultures for centuries. The saying encourages resilience and hope in the face of disappointment or failure. However, while it promotes optimism, it also highlights the importance of being open to change and willing to take action when new opportunities arise, rather than dwelling on past losses.
