About This Quote
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by going where I have not gone before is a powerful poem by William Shakespeare. The idea of learning comes in two forms.
The first is learning through experience or learning through looking at others' mistakes. The second is learning by the hard road where you have to learn through your own mistakes. Life teaches you one of these lessons at some point during it's journey, but you must get up and keep moving forward.
