“Somebody who only reads newspapers and at best books of contemporary authors looks to me like an extremely near-sighted person who scorns eyeglasses. He is completely dependent on the prejudices and fashions of his times, since he never gets to see or hear anything else.”

About this quote
Einstein connects progress with endurance rather than perfection. The quote works well because it helps readers treat mistakes and difficulty as part of the work, not the end of it.
When to use it
- Keep it in a training, study, or business routine where progress depends on repeated effort.
- Return to it when a difficult goal still deserves another thoughtful try.
- Share it with someone rebuilding momentum after a mistake, rejection, or slow season.
