About This Quote
I'll never be ready. Yet at the same time, you always want to reach the end. You can't fly to a destination and linger in the air. I want to reach the end of this thing, and I feel terrible about it.
In some ways, you can't help wondering if it's possible to be ready. You can't grasp something totally, as though it's not there. You can't grasp a feeling, as though it doesn't exist.
Of course you're never going to be ready for this thing that you're doing now, but at least you can try to do what's required of you. You can try your best to do your job as best as you can every day, not just when things are going well.
