丟失一個釘子，壞了一隻蹄鐵；

壞了一隻蹄鐵，折了一匹戰馬；

折了一匹戰馬，傷了一位騎士；

傷了一位騎士，輸了一場戰鬥；

輸了一場戰鬥，亡了一個帝國。

My answer is that you would be a truly free person. You would be forever liberated from the tyranny of others’ opinions, from self-doubt, from the fear of life and the fear of death, and from the demands of time.

Instead, you would be free to enjoy life as it is and to find fulfillment and joy in helping others.

Clarke’s three laws

Posted on by

1. When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

2. The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

3. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

— Arthur C. Clarke

I’ve found that people who are great at something are not so much convinced of their own greatness as mystified at why everyone else seems so incompetent.

Road Not Taken

Posted on by

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

— Robert Frost

.

Explanation and interpretations

The poem, especially its last lines, where the narrator declares that taking the road “one less traveled by” “made all the difference,” can be seen as a declaration of the importance of independence and personal freedom. However, Frost likely intended the poem as a gentle jab at his great friend and fellow poet Edward Thomas, and seemed amused at this slightly “mischievous” misinterpretation. The Road Not Taken seems to illustrate that once one takes a certain road, there’s no turning back, although one might change paths later on, they still can’t change the past.
