There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts.
You teach best what you most need to learn.
Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.
That’s what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we’ve changed because of it, and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way is winning.
