"A wise man writes down what he thinks, a stupid man forgets what he thinks, a complete idiot punishes himself for what he thinks"
- Jason Zebehazy
About this Quote
This quote by Jason Zebehazy highlights the value of taping one's thoughts and ideas. A sensible man understands the value of his ideas and makes the effort to write them down, knowing that they may hold significance in the future. On the other hand, an absurd man stops working to recognize the value of his thoughts and enables them to escape from his memory. However, the most absurd of all is the one who not just forgets his ideas however likewise punishes himself for having them. This reveals a lack of self-awareness and a failure to learn from one's own errors. In essence, this quote emphasizes the value of valuing and preserving one's thoughts, instead of ignoring or punishing oneself for them.
