子曰:“不在其位,不谋其政。”
【译文】 孔子说:“不在那个位置上,就不要想那个位置上的事。”
And what I noted, since the really big ideas carry 95 percent of the freight, it wasn’t at all that hard for me to pick up all the big ideas and all the big disciplines and make them a standard part of my mental routines. Once you have the ideas, of course, they are no good if you don’t practice. You don’t practice, you lose it.
The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.
