To the most trivial actions, attach the devotion and mindfulness of a hundred monks.
To matters of life and death, attach a sense of humor.

About Patience
Most people optimize for the day ahead. A few people optimize for 1-2 years ahead. Almost nobody optimizes for 3-4 years ahead (or longer).
The person who is willing to delay gratification longer than most reduces competition and gains a decisive advantage. Patience is power.

About Boredom
Boredom is a tremendous indicator. Your energy goes; it caves in on you; you can’t do anything. That’s very frightening but you must listen because you are being told that whatever it is you are doing is not quite right.
It may only need a small adjustment or it may need more drastic treatment.
Bridget Riley
