That’s how long World War I lasted.
As of today, Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine has lasted just as long. Millions displaced, thousands killed, entire cities destroyed and Europe’s largest war since 1945 is still not over.

“The best way to avenge yourself is to not be like that.”
—MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 6.6
“How much better to heal than seek revenge from injury. Vengeance wastes a lot of time and exposes you to many more injuries than the first that sparked it. Anger always outlasts hurt.
Best to take the opposite course. Would anyone think it normal to return a kick to a mule or a bite to a dog?”

“The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing, because an artful life requires being prepared to meet and withstand sudden and unexpected attacks.”

Dancing is a popular metaphor for life. One must be limber and agile and go along with the music.
One must feel and follow and flow with their partner. But anyone who has tried to do something
difficult, where there is competition or an adversary, knows that the dancing metaphor is insufficient.
Nobody ever gets up on stage and tries to tackle a dancer. The dancer never gets choked out by a rival.
For a wrestler, on the other hand, adversity and the unexpected are part and parcel of what they do.
Their sport is a battle, just like life. They are fighting an opponent as well as their own limitations,
emotions, and training.
Life, like wrestling, requires more than graceful movement. We have to undergo hard training and
cultivate an indomitable will to prevail. Philosophy is the steel against which we sharpen that will and strengthen that resolve.

Walt Disney didn't just inherit a dream; he worked for it as a paperboy and child factory worker after his father’s business failures. From selling sketches to neighbors at age seven to driving an ambulance in post-war Europe, his early life was a masterclass in perseverance and hustle.
Disney leveraged his passion for drawing to land a role as an advertising cartoonist and eventually pioneere in cartoon.
