Quote by John W. Gardner
One of the reasons people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure.
Summary
This quote suggests that as individuals grow older or gain more experience, they tend to become more hesitant and cautious. This decline in willingness to take risks is often rooted in the fear of failure. People may develop a fear of making mistakes or facing challenges that could potentially lead to negative outcomes. Consequently, this fear restricts their desire to learn and explore new things, preventing personal growth and development.
