The more time passes, the less things are certain. The statement above is another one of the relatively long series of sentences that stuck with me ever since I heard/read of it. The sentence itself is

There's always a good argument to be made for and against the technical jargon that exists in almost every domain with sufficient complexity and specialisation. Origins of such go back arguably to historic

Having your identity attached to a single purpose or rather primarily focused on a specific goal or calling is one of the most perfect excuses to stay the course when the going gets tough. Rarely do we

Not so seriously, I'm trying to think how playing defense wins championships without looking it up with additional information on what it really means. I just heard the saying again and this time around
