Snippets

Too many chefs spoil the broth by making it bland and tasteless, not by burning it. Similarly, creativity by committee usually devolves an idea from an idea that pleases a few to a watered down version that displeases none.

Leisure time is like swimming at the beach. You can stay near the edge and enjoy frolicking in the shallows, or you can go into the deep and discover what lies hidden beneath the surface. The former is effortless. The latter is hard, dangerous, leads to more discovery, growth and learning and becoming more yourself.
