My feeling, based on my own experience, is that aiming for grandiosity is the fastest route to failure.
Infinite patience gets you immediate results.
The learned man aims for more. But the wise man decreases. And then decreases again.
You create your luck by being healthy and not regretting the past or being anxious about the future.
Life is too long to reject the opportunities in front of you every day.
Out of silence comes the greatest creativity. Not when we are rushing and panicking.
