About this Quote

This quote by Arthur Schopenhauer talks to the significance of having both a great heart and an excellent head when it pertains to acting and doing work. A great heart is essential for acting due to the fact that it is the driving force behind any undertaking. It is the passion and determination that will push us to take dangers and strive for success. On the other hand, an excellent head is needed for work since it is the source of our knowledge and understanding. It is the ability to believe seriously and rationally that will help us to make sound decisions and develop efficient options. Both an excellent heart and an excellent head are necessary for attaining success in any undertaking.
