Perfection

There can never be enough knowledge
to improve anything to perfection.
Perfection is like infinity.
You are far from it.
But you still feel
that you can reach it.


Ambition

Ambition is
to constantly try harder
to achieve
the highest goals in life.
Not many people
have that natural
divine force:
That's the reason
for having more sheep
than shepherds.


The Decision

One should not judge
the road up ahead
by the impression one gets
at the crossroad.


The Appendix

An appendix is as useless
as some employees.
After you cast them out
you'll never miss them.
