Michael FaudetA mind possessed by unmade books, unwritten lines on empty hooks.
About This Quote
The most important thing to remember is that we must learn from the mistakes we make. We cannot learn from embracing our own mistakes, only from the mistakes of others, and this takes dedication and true love for learning. You can’t learn from what you don’t know. You can’t learn from a book if you don’t have the time to read it.
You can’t learn if you aren’t willing to take a chance and fail. The first step is admitting that you have a problem. The second step is actually doing something about it.
When we make mistakes, or when we find ourselves in a position where we feel as though we are making too many mistakes, it helps to remember as Henry David Thoreau says, “A mind possessed by unmade books, unwritten lines on empty hooks.”
