Philosophies

Building a Wall of Thoughts

Never get even; get ahead. You want to be the dumbest person in the room. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle: when the sun comes up, you'd better be running. A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. A knight in shining armor is a man who has never had his metal truly tested. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder. Most people overestimate what they can do in a day, but underestimate what they can do in a year. Climb a mountain not so the world can see you, but so you can see the World. If the news are fake, imagine history. If everything is a priority, then nothing is a priority. You have to aim when you pull out a lucky punch. If we have data, let's look at data. If all we have are opinions, let's go with mine. Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one. I said "Somebody should do something about that". Then I realized I am somebody. You have to spend money to make money. Luck favors the prepared mind. I fear not the man who practices 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times. Not wanting something is as good as having it. The best way to have friends is to be one. When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem becomes a nail. The difference between genius and stupidity is; genius has its limits. A mind is like a parachute. It doesn't work unless it's open. When you do something right, no one will actually notice you did anything. Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, it's not the end. Many people die at 25 and aren't buried until they are 75. The secret of getting ahead is getting started. I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop. If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking. You'd rather be wealthy than rich. The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in battle. Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. There are 3 kinds of people in this world: those that want things to happen, those that make things happen, and those who just wonder what the hell happened. One is infinitely more than zero. Life is too short to hate what you do.
