Ex-US secretary of state #HenryKissinger dead at 100: statement

A life well lived. “I paid no attention to the territorial boundaries of academic disciplines and I just grabbed all the big ideas that I could.” “If you skillfully follow the multidisciplinary path, you will never wish to come back. It would be like cutting off your hands.” “Take a simple idea, and take it seriously.” “It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.” “Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Systematically you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. Nevertheless, you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts. Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day. At the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.” “I try to get rid of people who always confidently answer questions about which they don’t have any real knowledge.” – Charlie Munger
