"The secret of success is to be in harmony with existence, to be always calm to let each wave of life wash us a little farther up the shore"
- Cyril Connolly
About this Quote
This quote by Cyril Connolly talks to the suggestion that success is not necessarily accomplished via effort as well as aspiration, yet rather with a feeling of harmony and tranquility. To be effective, one should have the ability to approve the ebbs and flows of life and not be overwhelmed by them. Rather, one must be calm as well as allow each wave of life carry them even more up the coast. This means that one need to not be too affixed to any kind of one end result, yet rather be open to the possibilities that life brings. It is necessary to be versatile as well as to accept that life is unpredictable. By being in harmony with presence, one can be open to the possibilities that come their way and also use them to their advantage. This is the trick to success.
"Life is life - whether in a cat, or dog or man. There is no difference there between a cat or a man. The idea of difference is a human conception for man's own advantage"
