Don't buy society’s definition of success. Because it’s not working for anyone. It’s not working for women, it's not working for men, it's not working for polar bears, it's not working for the cicadas that are apparently about to emerge and swarm us.

Then thou wilt get on.
The rule for every man is, not to depend on the education which other men have prepared for him-not even to consent to it; but to strive to see things as they are, and to be himself as he is. Defeat lies in self-surrender.
Even after many years, kata practice is never finished, for there is always something new to be learned about executing a movement.
One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.
