MANY A man never fails because he never tries to give another a fish and feed him for a day, and then go on to teach him how to fish and make him feed on fishing in your waters for a whole lifetime, and his relatives and theirs - on this planet of fastly dwindling resources. [This one may appear rudely or tersely descriptive in a desert - better check whether it's true and savoury locally. Thanks to Norman Macewan and Lao Tzu] MANY GREAT spirits have encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. [With Albert Einstein]
THE BENEFITS of education and of useful knowledge, generally
diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free
government. [Sam Houston]
ContentsBriefingHelp from robust techniques or technology itself.
ONE SHOULD go for solid technology in doing sane things and make the
best out of it, come what may. Besides, try for control enough in likable
manner, without stepping down from your personal attainments. Otherwise
there are not a few others that seem to delight in controlling
you.If you strive for the affairs of the heart, however, not a few who strive for control may use plots to combat your deeds and effects - that may be seen later. In the affairs of the heart, being very crafty may count, particularly if you use gentleness to forward your own aims and get your way thereby. It may feel like a mild "punishment" to get aware of what counts, however, because society often exploits hearts and families for further ends as time goes by. Thus, what is natural in the moment may work for bad in the fullness of time. That's a problem. If you learn to dive inside to favour yourself from it, trust in the "technology" of doing it, not the other stuff that gets attached. Sage Words
Difficulties hardly pay. - T. Kinnes
