Quote by Grace Hopper

A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for.

A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built

Summary

This quote suggests that while port may be a safe place for ships, it goes against their purpose. Ships are designed for sailing through unpredictable waters, exploring new horizons, and venturing into the unknown. It implies that playing it safe and avoiding risks may provide temporary security, but it also limits growth and prevents us from fulfilling our true potential. To truly embrace life and achieve great things, we must be willing to leave our comfort zones and venture into uncharted territories, just like ships are meant to do.

Internalization. This occurs when you've exploited impact, when you've molded the standard material to your needs and made it yours, when you've made your new skills strong through hard use. All of a sudden these new concepts stopped churning within you, and a new reality is born: You and the concepts are one. They have literally become you. You have become them.
