“A friend said to me, “Hey you need to grow a pair. Grow a pair, Bro.” It’s when someone calls you weak, but they associate it with a lack of testicles. Which is weird, because testicles are the most sensitive things in the world. If you suddenly just grew a pair, you’d be a lot more vulnerable. If you want to be tough, you should lose a pair.

― Sheng Wang

“This is the most simple and basic component of life: our struggles determine our successes.”

― Epictetus, Enchiridion and Selections from the Discourses
