Sometimes success
Sometimes success
is the worst thing
that can happen to you
because you don't
you suddenly lose
a sense of
of what it is
that actually happened
to your success.
Sometimes it's luck.
Sometimes it's
something that you did
really aware
of what you did
and you only
think of your success
and you get drunk on it
and you keep doing more
and more and more,
and and
in a disaster
and so
there's an expression
the Japanese have it,
all cultures,
you have success
or victory,
time to step back.
calm down, reassess
where you are,
and in fact, consolidate
and not go ahead
because you're
a disaster otherwise.
