    When it is easy everyone thinks they are Oskar Schindler but when it is hard most people are Hugo Boss.

      Sun-Tzu actually described how this works with soldiers, and how do you work with such gentle material. I’d say his book’s parts on psychology are about making a Hugo Boss from a wannabe Oskar Schindler, but if one applies his advice to oneself, one can put different goals.

      I also like Marcus Aurelius.
