The best way to predict the future is to create it.
"The story is a vehicle for the truth. We tell stories to find the truth."
The moment you stop trying to be better is the moment you start to get worse.
Take long walks in stormy weather or through deep snows in the fields and woods, if you would keep your spirits up. Deal with brute nature. Be cold and hungry and weary.
We must balance short-term demands with long-term sustainability to create lasting value.
