Borrowed wisdom I return to often

February 21, 2026 · 5 min read · Notes

This is an ever evolving log of quotes I've heard or read over a period of time that dictates how I have played the game of life so far:

  1. Consistency beats perfection.
  2. If you don't ask the answer is always no.
  3. You miss 100% of the chances you don't take.
  4. Good is better than perfect.
  5. Strong opinions loosely held.
  6. Agency >> Intelligence
  7. Do not rush. Give it time. All the good things happen when we allow them to happen naturally. Nature does not rush, yet it has everything.
  8. मिल जाए तो शुक्र, ना मिले तो सब्र (If you receive it, be grateful; if you don’t, be patient.)
