Interpretation
The quote advocates a pragmatic, socially engaged approach to pursuing a goal: speak about an idea early, listen to reactions, and convert skepticism into drive. It reframes discouragement as useful data—both a test of one’s conviction and a reminder that novelty often meets indifference before it earns recognition. By urging openness, it also implies that feedback (even negative) can sharpen the idea, reveal weaknesses, and build resilience. The motivational pivot—using doubt as “fuel”—echoes a common entrepreneurial mindset: persistence is strengthened not by universal approval but by the ability to withstand and learn from dismissal.
