"When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat"
- Henry Miller
About this Quote
In this quote, Henry Miller recommends that when someone is attempting to accomplish something that is beyond their abilities, seeking the approval of pals is futile. This is because good friends are most valuable and encouraging throughout times of failure and disappointment. Miller indicates that buddies may not totally understand or think in one's capabilities to accomplish something amazing, and therefore their approval may not be real or advantageous. Rather, he recommends that a person need to concentrate on their own decision and determination, rather than looking for validation from others. This quote highlights the value of self-belief and resilience in the face of difficulties, instead of counting on the approval of others.
