"If we insist on being as sure as is conceivable... we must be content to creep along the ground, and never soar"

This quote by John Henry Newman is a reminder that we ought to not be too sure of ourselves and our decisions. He is suggesting that if we insist on being particular of whatever, we will never ever have the ability to reach our full potential. We will be stuck in a state of stagnancy, unable to take risks or check out brand-new possibilities. Instead, we will be content to remain in our convenience zone, never ever taking the opportunity to reach brand-new heights. Newman is encouraging us to take risks and be open to new ideas, even if we are not specific of the outcome. He is reminding us that if we want to reach our full potential, we should want to take dangers and check out new possibilities. We should be willing to skyrocket, even if we are unsure of the result.
