Summary

This quote highlights the contrasting attitudes of a wise person and a fool. The wise man acknowledges the innate difficulty or impossibility of a task and refrains from attempting it. On the other hand, the fool, driven by impulsiveness or naivety, disregards the wise man's warning and proceeds with the task anyway. This quote underscores the importance of thoughtful decision-making and the potential consequences of rash actions. It challenges us to consider whether we should listen to wise counsel or follow our own instincts, and examines the potential outcomes of both approaches.

They happen when you are looking at something you've been working on for years and suddenly see a connection you never noticed before, or when you're looking for something else altogether.
