Do you really have the patience, or are you just fooling yourself and everyone else?

Anyone who truly wants to succeed will accept defeat when it comes, think long-term, plan ahead, and prepare thoroughly for major upheavals.

But if you refuse to correct yourself in every detail, you’re just trying to coast on luck. You want to keep changing nothing and still get a good result.

Then why don’t you just go to a temple and pray to the Bodhisattva?

An “iron rice bowl” is simply a job you can find anywhere.

When you place your confidence in someone else—when you have faith in that iron rice bowl, when you trust your partner—you’re essentially trusting nothing at all.

Because confidence is directed inward; it’s sought within oneself.

So everyone wraps themselves in a mask, pretending to be whoever others expect them to be.

The opportunity to hear the truth isn't very frequent, so when you do come across one, listen quietly—don't bring your own biases or jump to premature conclusions.
