Failure Quote by Viktor Hovland

“You can't just willfully agree with whatever someone is telling you. You have to ask some questions and say, Hang on, is that right or is it not right? And if I'm wrong, well, I want to know how I'm wrong so I can avoid that mistake in the future.” quote by Viktor Hovland
