Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything. — George Bernard Shaw

Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.

Author: George Bernard Shaw

Insight: Stubbornness feels like conviction until life proves you wrong. The people who actually get things done aren't the ones with unshakeable beliefs—they're willing to look stupid by changing course. Being wrong fast beats being confidently stuck.

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw was an Irish playwright, critic, and political activist, born on July 26, 1856. He is best known for his witty and socially provocative plays, including "Pygmalion" and "Saint Joan," which often explored controversial and unconventional ideas on society, class, and politics. Shaw was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1925 for his contribution to both literature and the common good through his work.
