I’ve been reading a lot about writing and creativity lately. Currently, I’m going through Show Your Work by Austin Kleon, and I found this quote that immediately sparked something in my mind:
“We’re all terrified of being revealed as amateurs, but in fact, today it is the amateur…who often has the advantage over the professional. Because they have little to lose, amateurs are willing to take risks and share the results. They take chances, experiment, and follow their whims…‘In the beginner’s mind, there are many possibilities,’ said Zen monk Shunryu Suzuki. ‘In the expert’s mind, there are few.’”
For some reason, I immediately thought of that scene in The Dark Knight Rises where Bruce Wayne is trying to climb out of the Pit.
