"But I find the best things I do, I do when I'm trying to avoid doing something else I'm supposed to be doing. You know, you're working on something. You get bugged, or you lose your enthusiasm or something. So you turn to something else with an absolute vengeance"
- Norton Juster
About this Quote
This quote by Norton Juster talks to the idea that often our finest work is done when we are attempting to avoid something else. It suggests that when we are working on something and we end up being disappointed or lose our interest, we can turn to something else with a newfound energy and passion. This can result in us producing our finest work, as we are no longer bogged down by the task we were originally working on. It is a suggestion that in some cases taking a break from a job can be advantageous, as it can help us to refocus and come back to the job with a new point of view. It likewise speaks with the idea that sometimes our best work is done when we are not expecting it, and that it can come from unanticipated locations.
