Shunryu Suzuki believed beginners often have an advantage over experts.
Why?
Because beginners are still open.
They haven’t become trapped by certainty, assumptions, or ego.
His famous insight remains one of the most powerful lessons for creators, leaders, entrepreneurs, and lifelong learners:
“In the beginner’s mind there are many possibilities. In the expert’s mind there are few.”
The question is simple:
Where in your life have you stopped being a beginner?
