“Don’t look—you might see. Don’t listen—you might hear. Don’t think—you might learn. Don’t make a decision—you might be wrong. Don’t walk—you might stumble. Don’t run—you might fall.

You see the part that looks really good, but there’s usually a lot that remains hidden that’s neither exciting nor glamorous.”
