true to self

Many people labor in life under the impression that they are doing something right, yet they may not show solid results for a long time. They need a capacity for continuously adjourned gratification to survive a steady diet of peer cruelty without becoming demoralized. They look like idiots to their cousins, they look like idiots to their peers, they need courage to continue.


the black swan - nassim nicholas taleb


i burst out laughing on the bus when i read this.


yes.
i got quite a few stares


no.
my behaviour doesnt make any sense to me.
at least not right now.


i have no clue what is so funny.


perhaps it was just totally unexpected.
for something so crude and raw
to be presented in a book which requires
some effort to read.


still.
i am enjoying my read.
