“Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism.”— the ever insightful and poetic @nickcave on “[keeping] the devil down in the hole” https://t.co/ppNda3s6wz
Charlie Munger’s formula: “There is an old two-part rule that often works wonders in business, science, and elsewhere: (1) Take a simple, basic idea and (2) take it very seriously.”
I ask not good-fortune, I myself am good-fortune,
Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing…
— Walt Whitman, “Song of the Open Road"
