Bangambiki HabyarimanaThe Golden Mean is for the weakling, it was not meant for the likes of Alexander the Great, Cyrus, Pharaohs, or Hitlers of the world
About This Quote
The Golden Mean is an idea that has been popularized by a number of thinkers. The Golden Mean is a concept that suggests that the best way to get good at something is to practice a little, and then a little more. It’s a way of dealing with the natural ebbs and flows of life, and it’s meant to make sure that we don’t let success go to our heads or get too comfortable. In this quote, Alexander the Great, Cyrus the Great, Pharaohs, and Hitlers are all people who were adept at using their power to do things in ways that weren't very ethical. They let themselves get too comfortable in the way they did things.
