Sadly, no one has attempted to translate this statement. Damn those Western morons!

Such hate surrounding a quote; I'll try to explain one last time, but I have a feeling that these thick-headed people won't even get that.

I'll give you an example, so read on, fools.

Imagine a young artist with the vision to change the face of art by developing a revolutionary new aesthetic. She is, however, so worried about making an impression on the world and being recognised as a great artist that she is hesitant to try new things and take chances with her work. She thus produces forgettable, safe works as a result of her lack of inspiration. On the other side, there are certain artists who are more concerned with producing the greatest work possible than with whether or not their work will be remembered. An artist has unrestricted freedom to take chances, attempt novel approaches, and push the limits of what is practical in their industry. They might thus wind up producing truly innovative work that has a long-lasting effect on the art world. The first artist in this case never completely "flies" or reaches the grandeur she is capable of because she is too concerned with leaving a trace. The second artist, in contrast, is unrestrained in their pursuit of their goals and can soar without concern for their legacy. As a result, they might wind up having a significantly greater influence.

Those who are unduly concerned about their legacy and the impression they make on the world may be discouraged from taking chances or following possibilities that could result in great achievements, according to the proverb "those who want to leave a footprint shall never fly." To put it another way, if someone is always concerned about the impression they are making, they can be too hesitant to take risks and follow their aspirations.

LEGACY HINDERS GREATNESS!
