About This Quote

A person who sees the difficulties so clearly that he does not discern the possibilities cannot inspire a vision in others. This quote is about how you see what’s in front of you and do not see what it could be. To be inspired to create change, rather than simply reacting to it, requires looking at the world in a different way. It involves seeing possibilities that are not obvious to you, but which may be obvious to someone else.
