Long for the immensity for the sea…

“‘If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.‘ That’s exactly right, and it feels like a lot of adults who don’t know (or don’t even realize they don’t know) the immensity of the sea are narrowing the potential of children.

“When someone’s doing their best, or even more so when someone’s doing something they’re not skilled at, there’s absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. You’ll get good at the things you enjoy — there are no shortcuts in learning.”

~ Antoine de Saint Exupéry & 大井祐輝
