Quote by Plato

Summary

This quote compares people to dirt, highlighting two contrasting effects they can have on an individual's growth and development. Just as fertile soil nourishes plants, people can provide support, encouragement, and guidance, helping others to thrive and become better versions of themselves. On the other hand, negative influences can hinder personal growth, stifling one's potential and leading to a decline in their well-being. It underscores the importance of surrounding oneself with positive influences and avoiding those who may have a detrimental impact on one's growth and happiness.

Intuition is the art of the moment. Intuition is always in the moment, in the here and now. While the intellect always moves like the pendulum of a clock between the memories of the past and the fantasies of the future, intuition is always in the moment, always in the here and now.
