Negligence Will Kill You
Negligence is terrible. Negligence is obviously ineffective. This much is self-evident. You don’t get the things done, and you don’t get the things done well, if you neglect them. If you are doing something — either put DUE effort into it, or put NO effort. It is obvious yet we are almost never …
Strength Only Exists With Concurring Resistance
There is no strength without resistance. Obviously there isn’t! Strength can only exist in relation to something. You can’t just be strong. You can only be strong in relation to something. In relation to the doing of something, or in relation of persisting in certain way. This simple definition sheds much light (all the light) …

It’s Far Easier Evaluating Those Behind Us Down The Road, Then It Is Those Before Us
Progressing in a particular field, one finds himself in a relation with other participants of the game. Some are behind us. Some are before us. Such hierarchy concerns many fields of human endeavours. Whenever competence is discernible and various players can be differentiated from the others – a natural hierarchy results. One curious observation …
Consciousness Is The Real Discipline
Ambitious that we are, men, we find all ways to ABUSE ourselves, all in order to get bigger, more powerful, more something. Call it discipline. Discipline is action or inaction that is regulated to be in accordance (or to achieve accord) with a system of governance. (Wikipedia) Sounds exactly like something you would …
