Wisdom from Balthasar Gracian

" There is no need to show your ability before everyone. 

 Employ no more force than is necessary.  Let there be no unecessary expenditure either of knowledge or power. 

 The skilful falconer only flies enough birds to serve for the chase.  If there is too much display today there will be nothing to show tomorrow. 

 Always have some novelty wherewith to dazzle.  To show something fresh each day keeps expectation alive and conceals the limits of capacity. 

Aphorism #58

-----------------------------------------

Try this for the next 21 days ( That is how long it takes for a new habit to "take", (studies have shown ) . . .  

For a daily regimen, I suggest to go there ( To the art of worldly wisdom newsletter site ) early and get your daily "fix" first .

. . THEN, on to this blog, THEN wherever else you go, etc.,

Tomorrow, you do it again, the day AFTER tomorrow, same-O, same-O . . . get the pitcher ? . . for 21 days . . .

Comprende?  Capiche ?
