"يجب أن يؤمن الكاتب أن ما يفعله هو أهم شيء في العالم ويجب عليه التمسك بهذا الوهم حتى عندما يعلم أنه ليس صحيحًا."
— John Steinbeck
Simplified Meaning:
Writers need to feel that their work is extremely important, even if they know deep down it might not change the world. This belief keeps them motivated and dedicated. Imagine a painter working on a piece of art; they pour their heart into it because they think it could be their best work ever. This helps them stay focused and creative. For writers, this mindset helps them push through doubts and finish their stories. Anyone doing something they love can apply this idea by focusing deeply on their work and believing in its importance, which helps them stay passionate and achieve their best results.
