the way, the only way

Those who do more toward a chosen end,
by unquenchable desire,
by intrepid exploration,
by undying persistence,
by the force of well-focused determination –
~ who invest more time,
~ and make more mistakes,
~ and seek more solutions,
~ and make more corrections than others,
ultimately achieve unparalleled accomplishment.
And running like a golden thread through all this is the final guarantor of success: patience.

being human

The most difficult thing in the universe is to be human. To overcome such a difficulty in such a space lends itself to the greatest triumph.

to the good

I will no longer be with people who show no humanity nor with people who are rich or well off who exhibit no humane compassion and 'common sense'. Unless they serve my purposes, I will no longer serve their's.
