Quote by LaoTzu

He who tip-toes cannot stand; he who strides cannot walk.

He who tip-toes cannot stand; he who strides cannot walk.

Summary

This quote suggests that moderation is key for achieving balance and stability in life. "Tip-toeing" represents an overly cautious approach, which can prevent one from taking firm actions and making progress. On the other hand, "striding" represents excessive enthusiasm or ambition, which can lead to impulsive decisions and a lack of focus. The quote advises finding a middle ground between these extremes. By walking, which implies a steady and deliberate pace, one can maintain stability and achieve sustainable growth in various aspects of life.

I think in the end, when you're famous, people like to narrow you down to a few personality traits. I think I've just become this ambitious, say-whatever's-on-her-mind, intimidating person. And that's part of my personality, but it's certainly not anywhere near the whole thing.
