Helmut Schmidt: "The biggest room in the world is the room for improv..."

Why This Quote Matters

On the surface this is about purpose. Sit with it longer and it turns into something about choices, and effort, and what you do when things get harder than expected.

Write it down by hand somewhere. There is something different about that act. Words stick in a new way when they move through your fingers.

Words like these do their best work when you stop rushing and let them sit for a minute.
