Summary

This quote, attributed to Shunryu Suzuki, suggests that having a beginner's mindset opens up numerous possibilities and allows for a sense of curiosity and openness to learning.

It encourages the value of approaching situations with an open and inquisitive mindset, embracing the vast potentials waiting to be discovered.
