Focus on the infinite not the finite.

 

[Raoul Duke]

"The genes hold culture on a leash. The leash is very long, but inevitably values will be constrained in accordance with their effects on the human gene pool. The brain is a product of evolution. Human behavior-like the deepest capacities for emotional response which drive and guide it-is the circuitous technique by which human genetic material has been and will be kept intact." —E. O. Wilson

So the time when you turn 22,
but they're gonna wait to bury you.
Cause you've got a 9-5 to do,
and that's supposed to matter.
And you replace your time in between,
with other people's hopes and dreams.
And live their lives on your T.V.,
and now you don't even matter.

“Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.”
― Henri Nouwen

I think he's trying to say that most consultants are full of shit.

It's one thing to ask for advice, quite another to pay for it.
