The Way of the Bow by Paulo Coelho

Notes:
– Your allies will not necessarily be the kind of dazzling people to whom everyone looks up and of whom they say: ‘There’s none better.’ On the contrary, they are people who are not afraid of making mistakes and who do, therefore, make mistakes, which is why their work often goes unrecognised. Yet they are just the kind of people who transform the world and, after many mistakes, manage to do something that can make a real difference in their community.

– Have the qualities of water: flowing around rocks, adapting to the course of the river, sometimes forming into a lake until the hollow fills to overflowing, and they can continue on their way, because water never forgets that the sea is its destiny and that sooner or later it must be reached.

– The bow is life, the arrow is intension, target is the objective to be reached,

– Look at the skilled hammersmith working steel. To the untrained eye, he is merely repeating the same hammer blows.

– Thank you Elliott Hulse for the recommendation.
