No great endeavor works without discipline. But typically, that’s not enough. Usually, strategy is required. Strategy is borne from clear perception, which arises from deep introspection and contemplation. Those are often painful, which is why the exhortation to “know yourself” is echoed throughout stories and parables. But sometimes, neither of those is enough. Sometimes, we…

I’ve found it’s extremely hard to argue with what works, so I try to make things work and then argue, if I’m still inclined to do so. (But usually, after I get things to work, I find the urge to argue goes away.) Musings, Volume 1, available on Amazon Kindle: Musings, Volume 1 Get Echo Vol. 1…
