The other is the steep and thorny way to success
very hard going, up a mountain, but becomes easy at the summit
The best man is the one who can work this out for himself the next best can understand it when somebody else tells him

Whatever else you do today after visiting SN, I hope it's productive!
Cheers 🫡
