“Discipline is doing what you hate to do, but do it like you love it.” — Mike Tyson
“People of very great ability will as a rule get on better with people of very limited ability than they will with people do ordinary ability, for the same reason as the despot and the plebeian, the grandparents and the grandchildren are natural” — Schopenhauer invented the midwit meme 200 years ago from “Essays and aphorisms”.
“Anxiety is what happens when your brains are bigger than your balls. You’re smart enough to know what you should be doing but lack the courage to do it. This imbalance is what triggers anxiety. The only way to demolish anxiety is to choke it out with ruthless action. This is why you never feel anxious when you’re in motion, even if that motion leads to temporary failure. Anxiety has nothing to do with failure and everything to do with a lack of courage.” — x/waronweakness
