Words That Resonate

"So remember this principle when something threatens to cause you pain: the thing itself was no misfortune at all; to endure it and prevail is great good fortune."

— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

"For it is within you, that both your destruction and deliverance lie."

— Epictetus

"To be like the rock that the waves keep crashing over. It stands unmoved and the raging of the sea falls still around it."

— Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

"I like people admitting they were complete stupid horses' asses. I know I'll perform better if I rub my nose in my mistakes. This is a wonderful trick to learn."

— Charlie Munger

"And so my lesson to all of you is conduct your life so that you can handle the 50% decline with aplomb and grace. Don't try to avoid it. It will come. In fact, I would say if it doesn't come, you're not being aggressive enough."

— Charlie Munger

"These [hard & failure] moments in my life were wracked with pain, but they were also defining gut-checks packed with potential. The setbacks taught me how to succeed. And what kept me on my path was a love for learning..."

— Josh Waitzkin, The Art of Learning

"In my experience, successful people shoot for the stars, put their hearts on the line in every battle, and ultimately discover that the lessons learned from the pursuit of excellence mean much more than the immediate trophies and glory. In the long run, painful losses may prove much more valuable than wins - those who are armed with a healthy attitude and are able to draw wisdom from every experience, "good" or bad," are the ones who make it down the road."

— Josh Waitzkin, The Art of Learning

"Each habit not only gets results but also teaches you something far more important: to trust yourself."

— James Clear, Atomic Habits

"The road less traveled is the road of delayed gratification. If you're willing to wait for the rewards, you'll face less competition and often get a bigger payoff. As the saying goes, the last mile is always the least crowded."

— James Clear, Atomic Habits

"Men are born soft and supple; dead, they are stiff and hard. Plants are born tender and pliant; dead, they are brittle and dry. Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death. Whoever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life. The hard and stiff will be broken. The soft and supple will prevail."

— Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
