There is no harm in repeating a good thing. — Plato

There is no harm in repeating a good thing.

Author: Plato

Insight: Repetition gets a bad rap—we call it boring or lazy. But Plato's point cuts deeper: the things worth saying deserve to be said again and again until they actually stick in our heads and shape how we act. Sometimes the best advice needs to be whispered to yourself multiple times before it becomes real.
