S53E5 Stillness: the hammer and the anvil
Manage episode 461580213 series 3553934
Walking in the woods this lunchtime thinking about Ryan Holiday’s book, Stillness is the Key and the question of whether we should be a hammer or an anvil.
There is a German phrase: 'Lieber Hammer als Amboss', which means, 'Better Hammer than Anvil'. This means better to be a proactive hammer that 'makes things happen' than a passive anvil. However, George Orwell observed that “It is always the anvil that breaks the hammer, never the other way about.”
Interesting food for thought for our 'Stillness' series.
