Two thousand year old #opsec advice: Hoping that others will not hear is not the same as not speaking; hoping others won’t find out is not the same as not doing. (from the Book of Han, a history book authored by a brother-sister pair) #classicalchinese #fountainpen

I did a little translation exercise of Mengzi: "故天将降大任于是人也,必先苦其心志,劳其筋骨,饿其体肤,空乏其身,行拂乱其所为..." "When Heaven means to plunge someone into great responsibility, it first torments their mind, wearies their bones, starves their skin, drains their wealth and disrupts their life." So I expect I'll be promoted to queen of the world any second now... #classicalchinese #translation #philosophy
