“Impatience is the enemy of wisdom; it propels us to jump conclusions, judge and condemn, rather than understand”
Devdutt Pattanaik

Jordan B. Peterson
“Don’t underestimate the power of vision and direction. These are irresistible forces, able to transform what might appear to be unconquerable obstacles into traversable pathways and expanding opportunities. Strengthen the individual. Start with yourself. Take care with yourself. Define who you are. Refine your personality. Choose your destination and articulate your Being. As the great nineteenth-century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche so brilliantly noted, “He whose life has a why can bear almost any how.”
Jordan B. Peterson, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos

“The ceaseless interplay of heaven and earth gives form to all things. The sexual union of male and female gives life to all things. This interaction of yin and yang is called the Way [Tao], and the resulting creative process is called change.”
I-Ching

Alfred Adler
“It is the individual who is not interested in his fellow man who has the greatest difficulties in life and provides the greatest injury to others. It is from among such individuals that all human failures spring”
Alfred Adler, What Life Could Mean to You

“Things that accord in tone vibrate together. Things that have affinity in their inmost natures seek one another. Water flows to what is wet, fire turns to what is dry. Clouds (the breath of heaven) follow the dragon, wind (the breath of earth) follows the tiger. . . What is born of heaven feels related to what is above. What is born of earth feels related to what is below. Each follows its kind.”
I-Ching
