More From Carson McCullers

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.

To become a chess grandmaster also seems to take about ten years. (only the legendary bobby fisher got to that elite level in less than that amount of time: it took him nine years.) and what's ten years? well, it's roughly how long it takes to put in ten thousand hours of hard practice. ten thousand hours is the magic number of greatness.

Motivational Buddhist Children
Only one person in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the present. most of us spend fifty-nine minutes an hour living in the past, with regret for lost joys or shame for things badly done (both utterly useless and weakening) or in a future which we either long for or dread. . . . there is only one minute in which you are alive, this minute, here and now. the only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle. which is exactly what it is-a miracle and unrepeatable.
Regret Past Long
Success is how you collect your minutes. you spend millions of minutes to reach one triumph, one moment, then you spend maybe a thousand minutes enjoying it. if you were unhappy through those millions of minutes, what good is the thousand minutes of triumph? it doesn't equate... life is made of small pleasures. good eye contact over the breakfast table with your wife. a moment of touching a friend. happiness is made of those tiny successes. the big ones come too infrequently. if you don't have all those zillions of tiny successes, the big ones don't mean anything.
