Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of perseverance and active pursuit of goals. By suggesting that one needs to keep going, it implies that success and new opportunities can be found through continuous effort and movement. The phrase "stumble on something" implies a fortuitous discovery or unexpected encounter, which is more likely to happen when one is actively engaged in exploring and taking action. The mention of not stumbling while sitting down highlights the idea that progress and serendipitous moments only occur when one is in motion and actively seeking them.
