Quote by Dave Van Ronk

You can't be afraid of failure and you can't be afraid of success, because either one gets in the way of your work.

You can't be afraid of failure and you can't be afraid of su

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of letting go of the fear of failure and success in order to truly focus on one's work. Fear of failure can hinder progress by discouraging risk-taking and exploration. Similarly, fear of success can limit growth and accomplishment as it manifests self-doubt and resistance to stepping out of one's comfort zone. To fully dedicate oneself to the task at hand, one must cultivate a mindset that is unburdened by these fears and embraces both failures and successes as valuable learning experiences.

Now the two of them rode silently toward town, both lost in their own thoughts. Their way took them past the Delgado house. Roland looked up and saw Susan sitting in her window, a bright vision in the gray light of that fall morning. His heart leaped up and although he didn't know it then, it was how he would remember her most clearly forever after- lovely Susan, the girl in the window. So do we pass the ghosts that haunt us later in our lives; they sit undramatically by the roadside like poor beggars, and we see them only from the corners of our eyes, if we see them at all. The idea that they have been waiting there for us rarely if ever crosses our minds. Yet they do wait, and when we have passed, they gather up their bundles of memory and fall in behind, treading in our footsteps and catching up, little by little.
