August Thirty First Success Secret – William S. Beck

August 31, 2020 — Leave a comment

Thought and effort may be necessary; one must raise his head if he wishes to look around. But the effort is worthwhile.

It is worthwhile if only for the joyous fun of it. One should savor great developments as they happen, for truly great contributions quickly enter the intellectual household of humanity. There they become commonplaces, yesterday’s triumphs, and if we missed them yesterday, the exhilarating moment is passed. I share the view of most scientists: it is much more fun to discover knowledge than to possess it.

~ William S. Beck, The Riddle of Life (1960)
