a paraphrase of Tao Te Ching 24
If you stand on tiptoe
pretty soon you’re just teetering: try it.
When you’re all in a hurry
you never get anywhere.
Trying to make yourself a star
your light flickers low.
When you try hard to make an impression on people
sane ones lose interest.
Trying to be the boss
you dwell in chaos.
If there is some reason for you to be here
be honest about it,
do that thing
and then stop.
