Wanting to is the whole lesson; all the rest is practice.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of desire and motivation in achieving success. Merely wanting something is the foundation for learning and growth. It implies that having a strong desire to accomplish or attain something is the most critical aspect, as the rest, such as practice and effort, will naturally follow. Without the initial motivation and willingness to pursue a goal, practice alone becomes meaningless. In essence, this quote emphasizes the power of desire as the driving force behind achieving one's aspirations.
