“One must learn by doing the thing; for though you think you know it you have no certainty, until you try.”
- Sophocles
Sophocles is one of three ancient Greek tragedians whose plays have survived. Sophocles wrote 123 plays during the course of his life, but only seven have survived in a complete form: Ajax, Antigone, Trachinian Women, Oedipus the King, Electra, Philoctetes and Oedipus at Colonus.
Interesting assertion, but is there any certainty that trying will result in success?
a little late to comment but here it goes — there is ONE certainty: that one will certainly learn nothing unless one tries.
