Life Quote

'To walk a thorny road, you may cover its every inch with leather. Or you can make sandals'.

An ancient Indian parable of a man who wants to walk across the land, but the earth is covered with thorns. He has two options: one is to pave the road, to tame all of nature into compliance. The other is to make sandals, the internal solution. The answer is not based on a submissive world or overpowering force, but on intelligent preparation and cultivated resilience.

'Life is not fair'. Yeah, since when is life fair? It hasn't been fair since your father's time, and it certainly won't be fair during your children's time. Only you can make it work for yourself.
