The Wisdom of Goethe
Welcome to today's #WednesdayWisdom from Way Of The
Renaissance Man Starring Jim Woods
Today's insight was inspired by German writer and
statesman Johann Wolfgang von
Goethe.
"Everyone holds his fortune in his own hands, like a sculptor
the raw material he will fashion into a figure. But it’s the same
with that type of artistic activity as with all others: We are
merely born with the capability to do it. The Skill to mold the
material into what we want must be learned and attentively
cultivated."
–Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
The multi-talented poet, novelist, natural philosopher and
diplomat wrote many a memorable quote, but this one really stuck
with me because it reminds us all that every skill we
have must be cultivated and nourished if we want it to thrive.
It’s not enough to have talent in something. Talent is nothing
without the hard work needed to make that skill come to life.
