“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in." (Greek Proverb)

Low time preference decision-makers think in terms of years, not days; in decades, not years. They are the ones planting the trees…

@drgurner It’s probably one of the biggest lessons I learned over the years… I recently wrote in my Substack a post trying to articulate this idea … The Fool’s Crown

@drgurner Brilliant analogy and lesson

[Be Unstoppable @Sebastians2512]

Top performers hit the target others can’t hit.

The best of the best hit the target others can’t see.

Unstoppable forces create the target nobody knew could exist.

Excellence emerges through disciplined subtraction.

When Michelangelo wrote, “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free,” he was articulating the metaphysics of potential:

- Greatness is latent, not absent.

Michelangelo accepted the commission anyway, he was convinced that a heroic form was waiting to be released, and over the following 2 years he carefully and gently shaped David from the stone, so perfectly proportioned that contemporaries swore the figure would move if it could speak. It felt as if Michelangelo slowly and patiently persuaded the material to reveal its hidden form, shaping and molding rather than carving and creating. Michelangelo’s conviction was that form pre-exists matter.

A Marble Block No One Wanted

In September 1501, Michelangelo Buonarroti (26 years old at the time) walked into the cathedral yard in Florence to inspect a damaged, 17‑foot block of Carrara marble left abandoned for almost 40 years since it had been originally brought to the courtyard of the cathedral. Two sculptors before Michelangelo, Duccio first and Rossellino after, had tried but fail to chisel something out of the rock, leaving the surface pitted and the core fissured.

“The sculpture is already complete within the marble block, before I start my work. It is already there, I just have to chisel away the superfluous material.”

- Michelangelo

@MayorDelMar Thank you for your beautiful reply

[Be Unstoppable @Sebastians2512]

Dear @drgurner I could not agree more and it is actually one of the areas I work as hard as I can on me to improve. I realized over the years that many times my emotions were determined my actions and not my thoughts, so I recently wrote something along these lines and thought of sharing here https://t.co/g5dHsHqh0Z

@drgurner One of the most insightful notes @drgurner there’s a feeling that lot of books today are transactional operations rather than the product of inspiration and human ingenuity to bring new ideas or deep experiences to life.
