Ambiguous, uncertain, amorphous, misty, foggy, diffused, unfocussed — that’s how we describe most of the choices we make in life. We pick something without any guarantee that this choice is better than its alternative. And several times after the choice has been made, we sit and mope about greener grass across the fence that we built in the first place.
And yet some choices are very clear, very certain, very crystalline, very black and white. An education, rightly done, should help us make these choices and keep to them.
Today’s montage is dedicated to that.
“I would rather be a pawn in the larger game of life and move just one step at a time, than be a queen in the limited chessboard of my comfort zone.”
“There are some stories that only I can see. The best I can do for you is to lend you my glasses and hope that, with them, you can see these stories the same way I do.”
“The real struggle isn’t in putting words to the paper — that part is easy and anyone can do it once in a while. The real struggle is in knowing that today isn’t a good day and still showing up at the writing desk.“
“Looking too far into the future will invite fear of the unknown, as time hides even the most obvious of results. But, the good news is that we don’t need to see too far into the future — only just enough to put down the next step.”
“I saw in it a dead tree on a mountaintop, savaged by sobs and ravaged by rot. And yet when I chose to sit on it nonetheless, it welcomed me as a king.”
