Quotes #18 : Self is made through action

"The self is not something ready-made,
 but something in continuous formation through choice of action."
          John Dewey

And even if you choose it wrong the first time, and the second time, and even the third time, still only through action you can learn the best course, get the best relationships and - what is most important - find and feel the best feeling of self-respect and accomplishment.
