In ancient Rome, when a victorious general paraded through the streets, legend has it that he was sometimes trailed by a servant whose job it was to repeat to him, " Memento Mori": Remember you will die. A reminder of mortality would help the hero keep things in perspective, instill some humility. Job's memento mori had been delivered by his doctors, but it did not instill humility. Instead he roared back after his recovery with even more passion. The illness reminded him that he had nothing to lose, so he should forge ahead full speed. " He came back on a mission," said Cook. " Even though he was now running a large company, he kept making bold moves that I don't think anybody else would have done.

I love people who have such passion for complete nonsense.
Chelsea HandlerEvery one is fond of comparing himself to something great and grandiose, as Louis XIV likened himself to the sun, and others have had like similes. I am more humble. I am a mere street scavenger (chiffonier) of science. With my hook in my hand and my basket on my back, I go about the streets of science, collecting what I find.

Every integral man has inside him, in his heart of hearts, a mystic center around which all else revolves. This mystic whirling lends unity to his thoughts and actions; it helps him find or invent the cosmic harmony. For some this center is love, for others kindness or beauty, others the thirst for knowledge or the longing for gold and power. They examine the relative value of all else and subordinate it to this central passion.
Nikos KazantzakisHukum Keterbalikan
Bukan bagaimana menemukan seseorang yang tepat, tetapi bagaimana menjadi seseorang yang tepat bagi semua orang
Bukan berkata, “Aku menantang kalian para juara tingkat dunia, para pemenang medali keemasan”, tetapi harus berkata, “aku menantang diriku sejauh mana bisa menjadi juara tingkat dunia, menjadi salah satu pemenang medali keemasan.
Bukan mengikuti dan melampaui batas standar yang ditetapkan orang lain ataupun lingkungan kita untuk menjadi sesuatu dan berhasil, tetapi bagaimana kita melampaui batas standar yang kita berikan pada diri kita untuk bisa kita katakan berhasil – ketulusan dan konsisten penuh integritas melakukan segala sesuatu

Each Moment a White Bull Steps Shining into the World
If the gods bring to you
a strange and frightening creature,
accept the gift
as if it were one you had chosen.
Say the accustomed prayers,
oil the hooves well,
caress the small ears with praise.
Have the new halter of woven silver
embedded with jewels.
Spare no expense, pay what is asked,
when a gift arrives from the sea.
Treat it as you yourself
would be treated, brought speechless and naked
into the court of a king.
And when the request finally comes,
do not hesitate even an instant----
stroke the white throat,
the heavy trembling dewlaps
you'd come to believe were yours,
and plunge in the knife.
Not once
did you enter the pasture
without pause,
without yourself trembling,
that you came to love it, that was the gift.
Let the envious gods take back what they can.

Love, like everything else, exists in a spectrum. Love of another, love of the world, love of God, all these loves are really one love in different degrees of light and density.
