"I stuck with that size because I could bend the strings so well, and somewhere along the line I must have gotten it into my mind that I had small hands, so I was thinking I'd never be able to play a full-scale guitar, but I also felt like I was cheating or cutting corners"

About this Quote

John Fogerty's quote speaks with the power of self-belief and the value of challenging our own presumptions. He chose to stick with a smaller sized guitar because he had the ability to flex the strings well, and he had encouraged himself that he had small hands and would never have the ability to play a full-blown guitar. This quote shows that we can often restrict ourselves by our own beliefs, and that it is very important to challenge these assumptions and press ourselves to reach our complete capacity. Fogerty's quote is a suggestion that we ought to never let our own doubts and insecurities hold us back from attaining our goals. It is necessary to acknowledge our own strengths and weak points, and to utilize them to our advantage. By doing so, we can reach our complete capacity and achieve our goals.
