[Hugh Jackman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh%5FJackman?ref=kudithipudi.org) mentioned this quote on a [podcast](https://tim.blog/2020/06/26/hugh-jackman/?ref=kudithipudi.org) with [Tim Ferriss](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tim%5FFerriss?ref=kudithipudi.org). Highly recommend listening to the podcast. Hugh shared a lot more such wisdom in it. My admiration for Hugh went up a couple more notches after listening to it.
