the following statement strikes me as accurate:

 

"the best way to do something is to make it appear as if you had done nothing at all".

 

this quote reminds me of a certain monk finesse to life that modern baligerants have forgotton. now its "bigger the better", everything is obvious and nothing is subtle. its too loud.

 

thoughts?

"the best way to do something is to make it appear as if you had done nothing at all".

 

I don't see how that is at all effective.

I will give you that. Things do appear to be "too loud" today, but I see no point in trying do do something "quietly". What's the point? If you're going to do something, it's most likely for a purpose. And if that's the case, then the purpose should be made clear....

Perhaps changes which go unnoticed experience less friction or inertia toward that change.

 

There's also a saying I like, which resurfaced in my thoughts after reading the opening question. It goes something like this.

 

The knowledgable person speaks. The wise person listens.

 

 

Cheers. :cup:

well, i think that it is important to understand that perhaps the reason that this quote speaks so much to me in particular is because i prefer to act in my everyday life with a certain amount of anonymity. i like to avoid ripple effect, achieving what i wish to achieve without stirring or allerting those around me. having as little effect as possible on other people.
