When I knew nothing, I thought I could do anything.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
One of the things I learned, one of the strangest things, is how to think. There was nothing else to do. I couldn't see people, or go for a walk in the forest. All I had was my head and my books, and I thought a lot.
I grew up in a time when it would never have occurred to anyone to tell me there was anything I couldn't do.
I learned that if we set our mind to things, we can accomplish almost anything no matter what the circumstances are.
I began to do this thing I do of giving myself a class every day, and trying to experiment and push further. I don't mean to say I knew everything, because I didn't, but I would do what I knew and then push beyond that and see what else I could find.
When someone says you can't do what you know you can do, then you can't do anything.
It was when I found out I could make mistakes that I knew I was on to something.
I knew I could do anything I wanted to do and go anywhere I wanted to go and not have to worry if I could afford it.
Most anything I've ever set my mind to, I could accomplish.
The one thing that I keep learning over and over again is that I don't know nothing. I mean, that's my life lesson.
I knew that if-God forbid-anything ever happened in my life, I needed to know how to take care of myself.
