hummm, I would say circumstances may limit or rise the horizons. People with the same circumstantes have diffrent ways to repond to them, using their diffrent horizons.

i'm not too sure, Albert Einstein would differ also...*He said "if people only knew how hard i actually had to work to get where i am and know the things i do."

...i guess basically; have the right attitude, work real hard and the luck will follow.

It's all good..

Very true, working smart is good. It's best if you can see both the forest and the trees. You have to be able to stand back and ask yourself, 'is this working?'

In the end, nothing can take the place of a great attitude and a meaningful days work. Like i said before with a little luck, the rest should follow.

Great thought! One of my best friends is a Virgo...and that sounds about correct. We tend to think alike, despite the fact astrology would indicate that I don't do much of that kinda stuff, at all, and she's a very feeling person.

It's the most unfortunate that this things true nature is just like you have said Cap. Maybe the circumstances people are living in simply force them to deal with security first and not the other way around.

Some people show courage even without security and under difficult conditions. This is the most strange and does not make any sense. Why would a person act in courageus way if they do not have 1) Security, 2) Way of acheivement. For me it seems like some people use others recources with a great risk which looks only like an act of irresponsibility.

You may say it's a hope that drives them....a hope that with success they will get rid of their troubles much faster. Yes they may, but if they dont (and usually don't) they become even in worse situation than they in without such risks. There are surely less risky ways to get some security, and probably will take a longer time, but still using others recources isn't very wise way and abusive. Do youself if you can, or dont waste others.

"Sorry, had to do it! lol"

I know that you had to do it. Because you need to get laid. In that cause I would simply apply penalty code 339 of Haffo for your insubordination and striking a higher commanding officer.

"Not really. Courage requires belief. Not wisdom. "

What if a person is methodical. I mean he acts in the certain ways in the certain situations without knowing the outcome.

Is this a belief too?

Thank you for your great answer. Perhaps you are right. The knowledge of what it should be is already written within us. By experience we just learn to accomodate better our inside to the outside. Courage is something that brings the edges of inside and outside closer. The loop here is in the process itself. The more edges come closer the more are they stimulated to get closer.

Define wisdom;

I will answer with this quote;

"5) The true test of intelligence is not how much we know how to do, but how we behave when we don't know what to do."

"you mean the reaction to a situation which creates anxiety and needs a creative solution is a true test of intelligence?"

Creative is not a good definition. Think of it as a chess. You know what will happen in 2-3 moves. Creative does not usually mean useful. But what I call as a "wisdom" is more close to possible reality. So yeah, in the face of situation that creates anxiety you act according to those sets of rules which bring you to good grounds for the most of time. And this is not just making yourself feel better even though the outcome is bad (kinda pep talk). No. This is more than that. It's not about just personal, it's about situation.

What if the statement implies on technical information? I mean you can know lots of tech info, but in the face of unknown, tech info is not a leading information, but the way you use it is. And this part doesn't have to be "a creative one".

Wow Haffo,

Where did you find this? I like it. Is it a quote, proverb ...? I think it's a loop -- you have to have courage in order to gain any experince -- we all learn from personal experience (whatever it maybe) so there's the wisdom in a nutshell 😄
