A relationship in which you unquestionably have the upper hand at all times is no relationship at all.*
Oliver Burkeman

Don’t chase success. Instead chase new and interesting ways of solving other people’s problems.**

Dominance and success at any cost
always comes at a cost for someone.

On the other hand, being a servant of goodness and
rightness makes everyone richer.

The virtue of a person is measured not by his outstanding efforts but by his everyday behaviour.^
