Heroes to me are guys that sit in libraries. They absorb knowledge and then the risks they take are calculated on the basis of the courage it took to become replete with knowledge.
Great risks come in long term, tremendously assiduous, very courageous study.
Suggesting that substantial risks or significant breakthroughs are often associated with prolonged and dedicated effort, requiring perseverance, meticulousness, and boldness in the pursuit of knowledge or expertise.
Being famous is not something that would make me feel successful - unless one was striving for mediocrity.
The problem with Google is you have 360 degrees of omnidirectional information on a linear basis, but the algorithms for irony and ambiguity are not there. And those are the algorithms of wisdom.
Sometimes people call me a success for all the reasons that make me think I'm a failure.
The achievement is appreciation. Your ability to be surprised and awed by beauty!
But I am not going to live for ever. And the more I know it, the more amazed I am by being here at all.
It's been a long comeback. Things were pretty dark for me. But I have a faith now, and it saves my day. I was angry with God for a long time because I was unhappy with me. I hadn't learned to make the distinction between God and my parents. But there's a peace now. In the end, I got sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Being a father, being a friend, those are the things that make me feel successful.
