When Frank Lloyd Wright was nine, he went walking across a snow-covered field with his uncle. As the two of them reached the end of the field, his uncle stopped him. He pointed out his own tracks in the snow, straight and true as an arrow’s flight, then young Frank’s tracks meandering all over the field. “Notice how your tracks wander aimlessly from the fence to the cattle to the woods and back again,” his uncle said. “See how my tracks aim directly to my goal? There is an important lesson in that.”
Years later, the world-famous architect told how this experience had greatly contributed to his philosophy in life. “I determined right then not to miss most things in life, as my uncle had,” he said.
