Quote by Jim Rohn

Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.


Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.

Summary

This quote implies that it is not enough to simply affirm or declare something without putting in the necessary effort and discipline to achieve it. Mere affirmation or positive thinking can lead to delusion if it is not accompanied by the commitment, dedication, and self-control needed to make it a reality. In other words, simply believing in something is not enough; one must work diligently and remain disciplined in order to manifest and achieve their goals or desires.

It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, but that not every one is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite nuber of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so if every planet in the Universe has a populations of zero then the entire population of the Universe must also be zero, and any people you may actually meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination.

What if the Soviet intervention was a blessing in disguise?

What if the Soviet intervention was a blessing in disguise? It saved the myth that if the Soviets were not to intervene, there would have been some flowering authentic democratic socialism and so on.
