    A word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success.

    Das Gleiche lässt uns in Ruhe, aber der Widerspruch ist es, der uns produktiv macht.

    Agreement soothes us, it is resitance that makes us productive. (my translation)

    Just be aware that we don't speak of the Ancient Philosopher, but fo a fictional Character from Dan Millman's book "the peaceful warrior".

    "Focusing energy" was not a concept in Anceint Greece.

    Japanese wisdom:

    If if isn't yours, don't take it.
    If it isn't right, don't do it.
    If it isn't true, don't say it.
    If you don't know, remain silent.

    Quotes You Like

    "My left is weakened. My right is broken. The situation is excellent. I'm on the attack."
    Field Communiqué to Headquarters, Marshal Foch (French Commander, 1851-1929)
    Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool
    I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.
    Because all external expectations, all pride, all thoughts of
    embarrassment or failure, these things just fall away in the face
    of death, leaving only what is truly important.
