Sex & Money

Sex and money are the two building blocks of life. Fortunately if you have one, you can always get the other.

Vigilandum est

“vigilandum est; nisi properamus relinquemur; agit nos agiturque veloxdies; inscii rapimur; omnia in futurum disponimus et inter praecipitialenti sumus’
Seneca

(We must wake up; unless we hasten, we shall be left behind. Time rolls swiftly ahead, and rolls us with it. We are hurried along ignorant of our destiny; we arrange all our plans for the future, and on the edge of a precipice are at our ease.)

The hardest work

“Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it”
Henry Ford

What do we need to achieve great things

Leonard Bernstein

Who is a warrior?

“Out of every 100 men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ah, but the one, one is a warrior, And he will bring the others back.”
Heraclitus

Logic & emotions

“The reason most people think logic is more important than feeling is that we aren’t usually aware of the connection between the two.
A lot of people’s emotional life is unconscious a lot of the time, especially when you’re calmly thinking something through. You feel like you’re just using logic, but you’re actually using logic guided by emotion. You just aren’t aware of the emotion.”
Temple Grandin, Animals In Translation

Safe or winning?

“Remember, if you opt for a safe life, you will never know what
it’s like to win.”
Richard Branson,

Blaming and failure

“A man can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.”
John Burroughs
