“¿Estaré loco?, debo confesar que la mayor confianza que pueda tener en mi sano juicio me ha sido dada en los momentos en que observando lo que hacen los otros y lo que no hacen, escuchando lo que dicen y lo que callan, me ha surgido esta fugitiva sospecha de si estaré loco. Estar loco se dice que es haber perdido la razón. La razón, pero no la verdad, porque hay locos que dicen verdades que los demás callan por no ser ni racional ni razonable decirlas, y por eso se dice que están locos. ¿Y qué es la razón? La razón es aquello en que estamos todos de acuerdo, todos o por lo menos la mayoría. La verdad es otra cosa, la razón es social; la verdad, de ordinario, es completamente individual, personal e incomunicable. La razón nos une y las verdades nos separan.”

“Alignment is the quiet power that turns scattered effort into meaningful progress. When your intentions, beliefs, and behaviours finally agree with each other, you stop fighting your own life and begin to experience a state of inner clarity that makes success feel natural instead of forced.”
