When a not-doing comes upon you, and there is no reflection of yourself to be found, many things can and will be related back to you as knowledge, yet you have no way of knowing how you assimilated that wisdom.

About This Quote

We all have times in our lives where we can’t do anything. We are stuck doing nothing, and no matter how hard we try, we can’t seem to find a way to get out of the rut. It often seems like no matter how hard we work on something, there is always more to do. But, Nelson Mandela said this quote when he was dealing with the challenges of apartheid in South Africa. It seems like he was trying to say that when you are faced with a situation you simply cannot handle, that’s when you should stop giving up and just keep on keeping on.
