On Potential

"Every human being is a Leonardo da Vinci. The only problem is that he doesn't know it. His parents didn't know it, and they didn't treat him like a Leonardo. Therefore he didn't become like a Leonardo. That's my basic theory."

Viktor Frenkl - Man's Search For Meaning

Viktor Frenkl was a prisoner at Aschwitz during WWII. He wanted to memorialize why some people survived intact, and others let go and went into the light of darkness. We need to keep our minds open and aware during the current challenges.

"And all my women were always talking about their potential. I always informed them that potential didn't cut shit - you had to do it! None of them ever did."

Charles Bukowski (quoted by Tom Russell on Hotwalker)
