If you wish to improve, be content to appear
clueless or stupid.
-Epictetus
My mission is not to explain my
philosophy but the embody it.
Balance is a Lie:
Iron is not forged in balance.
Iron is heated in an inferno,
Then doused in ice-cold water
Again and again.
So it is with life.
Life's no balance, it's a switch,
Block the world, grind,
Then step out, dance, be loud,
Crowd pulls in, you're alive, unbowed.
Feast hard, fill the plate,
Then fast, strip it, wait,
Kindness flows, soft and true,
Strategic cuts, cold, push through.
Love hits, heart's all in,
Then alone, you sit, begin,
Ponder deep, no one near,
Switch again, love reappears.
Work shuts doors, world fades out,
Social swings, laugh, shout,
No middle, just this or that,
Ride the shift, that's where it's at,
As the great King Solomon said,
"There's a time for everything under the sun,"
But not all at once
A Collection Of
Quotes I Like
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the
little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my
fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to
see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be
nothing. Only I will remain.”
-The Litany Against Fear, Dune by Frank Herbert
“The difference between a good administrator and a
bad one is about five heartbeats. Good administrators
make immediate choices. […] They usually can be made
to work. A bad administrator, on the other hand,
hesitates, diddles around, asks for committees, for
research and reports. Eventually, he acts in ways which
create serious problems. […] A bad administrator is
more concerned with reports than with decisions. He
wants the hard record which he can display as an
excuse for his errors.”
― Leto II, God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert
“This wise man observed that wealth is a tool of
freedom. But the pursuit of wealth is the way to
slavery.”

“Sit alone and you will find answers.”
“Disapear until you feel like you again.”
