"You cannot be anything if you want to be everything"
- Solomon Schechter
About this Quote
This quote by Solomon Schechter is a reminder that it is impossible to be everything at the same time. It is very important to focus on something and become the very best at it, instead of trying to do everything and not standing out at any of them. It is necessary to focus on and concentrate on the things that are essential to us. Trying to do excessive can lead to burnout and disappointment. It is much better to be terrific at one thing than mediocre at many. This quote encourages us to focus on our strengths and passions and to make every effort to be the very best at them. It is important to remember that we can not be whatever, but we can be something. We can choose to concentrate on the things that bring us delight and complete satisfaction and to aim to be the best at them.
