If at first you don't succeed... so much for skydiving.

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that if someone fails at skydiving, they should probably give up and not attempt it again. It implies that skydiving is a high-risk activity and failing at it for the first time is discouraging enough to not want to try again. The quote highlights the idea of accepting one's limitations and finding alternative pursuits instead of persisting in something that may not be suited for them.

Have you reckon'd a thousand acres much? have you reckon'd the earth much? Have you practis'd so long to learn to read? Have you felt so proud to get at the meaning of poems? Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems, You shall possess the good of the earth and sun, (there are millions of suns left,) You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books, You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me, You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self.

Why doesn't Apple stop for a year and make medical devices? When people talk about technology, that's where I start to get a little hot under the collar because I know that it's the key to solving some of the world's biggest problems. Having a faster, thinner telephone is not one of the world's biggest problems.
