Whatever it is you seek, you have to put in the time, the practice, the effort. You must give up a lot to get it. It has to be very important to you. And once you have attained it, it is your power. It can't be given away : it resides in you. It is literally the result of your discipline.
Michael CrichtonLiving systems are never in equilibrium. They are inherently unstable. They may seem stable, but theyโre not. Everything is moving and changing. In a sense, everything is on the edge of collapse.
