Summary

This quote suggests that the optimal state of being is to have a relaxed body but a focused mind. Being physically loose means to have a sense of ease and flexibility in our bodies, free of tension or stress. On the other hand, being mentally tight implies being attentive, disciplined, and thoroughly concentrated on the task at hand. By combining relaxation in our physical state with firmness in our mental state, we can achieve a balance that enables us to effectively tackle challenges and maintain a state of optimal performance.

Neither the entrepreneurs nor the farmers nor the capitalist

Neither the entrepreneurs nor the farmers nor the capitalists determine what has to be produced. The consumers do that. If a businessman does not strictly obey the orders of the public as they are conveyed to him by the structure of market prices, he suffers losses, he goes bankrupt, and is thus removed from his eminent position at the helm. Other men who did better in satisfying the demand of the consumers replace him.The consumers patronize those shops in which they can buy what they want at the cheapest price. Their buying and their abstention from buying decides who should own and run the plants and the farms. They make poor people rich and rich people poor. They determine precisely what should be produced, in what quality, and in what quantities. They are merciless bosses, full of whims and fancies, changeable and unpredictable. For them nothing counts other than their own satisfaction. They do not care a whit for past merit and vested interests. If something is offered to them that they like better or that is cheaper, they desert their old purveyors. In their capacity as buyers and consumers they are hard-hearted and callous, without consideration for other people.http://www.mises.org/humanaction.asp
