初心 (shoshin) “beginner’s mind”

A Japanese calligraphy artwork. The writing means "beginner's mind".
= for the first time, in the beginning. 

(This is the same kanji as 初め hajimé, meaning “for the first time”, as in the common Japanese greeting 初めまして hajimémashité.)

= heart, mind

Having a “Beginner’s Mind” means viewing a situation from a fresh perspective, staying humble, and understanding that there is always more to be learned.
