In a motivational speech about personal growth, one could reference this quote to emphasize the importance of appreciating the everyday.
Those who want to be serious photographers, you're really going to have to edit your work. You're going to have to understand what you're doing. You're going to have to not just shoot, shoot, shoot. To stop and look at your work is the most important thing you can do.
