Quote of the Day
Standing on the shoulders of giants.

Read one before the open. Then go do the work.
“Purity, patience, and perseverance are the three essentials to success, and above all, love.”
“Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is “timing” it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.”
“There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you, and there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.”
“”The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.” …so remember: great achievements take time, there is no overnight success.”
“It takes time to succeed because success is merely the natural reward of taking time to do anything well.”
“Only those who have the patience to do the simple things perfectly will acquire the skill to difficult things easily.”
“Life is all about timing… the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable… attainable. Have the patience, wait it out It’s all about timing.”
“Patience is not passive; on the contrary, it is active; it is concentrated strength”
“Patience is waiting. Not passively waiting. That is laziness. But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience.”
“It is all about appropriatness. When to be full throttle and when to sit on hands. Patience is the hardest for most”
