The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.*
William James

“Hayah asher hayah.” Those words are mistranslated in English as “I am that which I am.” But in Hebrew, it means “I will be who or how or where I will be,” meaning, Don’t think you can predict me.**
Jonathan Sacks

We are all capable of
glorious unpredictability –
The only thing to beware is
unpredictability goes down and
predictability goes up if
we try to do and be
everything.
