About This Quote
I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance. If you are going to learn anything, you are going to have to go for it yourself. You are the only person who can do anything you want. If you are not willing to do something, then there’s no way you can learn it. You have to take the initiative, so that is why I say, “I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance.”
