"girl I want to make you sweat, sweat till you can't sweat no more" — Epictetus
"It is the crisis that reveals the man. So when it arrives, remember that God, like a wrestling coach, has put you up against a rough young antagonist. Why, you ask? So that you can be an Olympic champion; for this cannot be achieved without sweat. Epictetus, Discourses 1.24.1-2"

found my calling.
full text quote: "To strive with difficulties, and to conquer them, is the highest human felicity; the next is, to strive, and deserve to conquer: but he whose life has passed without a contest, and who can boast neither success nor merit, can survey himself only as a useless filler of existence; and if he is content with his own character, must owe his satisfaction to insensibility", with the phrase, "useless filler of existence" highlighted, attributed to, Samuel Johnson, The Adventurer no. 111 (1753)

apropos of nothing, here's Peter Naur.
quote with highlighted text: «…what I tend to call dogmatic optimism with regard to constructive endeavors. This is the assumption that any construction that may be called a tool or a method, merely by being called so is guaranteed to be useful or helpful to human beings, without having been systematically tested for its usefulness. Thus any programming or system development method or formal methodology in itself is supposed to be a positive help for the programmer, and any software tool in itself is supposed to be a help to the computer user. And ultimately any view of man inspired by or modelled on the supreme tool, the computer, is supposed to be inherently helpful and right. As I see it, dogmatic optimism accounts for much frustration and failure related to computing. Matters are not so simple … the computer is not merely worthless but harmful, by blinding us to how and what we are.»

thought you might appreciate a meme.
expanding brain meme with the four brains from smallest brain to galaxy brain progressively labelled, "black hat", then "white hat", then "gray hat", and finally, "no hat".
