"Speed in decisions is the result of a happy natural liveliness. For this, quick and brave, there are neither difficulties nor hesitations. Some people think a lot and once they get down to business, they screw it up, others succeed in everything without long meditations. There are skills of a special kind. Which manifests itself most effectively by facing hardships. Such amazing beings succeed in everything without thinking and after long meditation - nothing comes out of them; if it did not come out of the first, do not expect any benefit and do not rely on the future. Praise be to the quick, because as if by a miracle, they succeed everywhere - and they think quickly, and they are skilled at work.

Speed in decisions is the result of a happy natural liveliness. For this, quick and brave, there are neither difficulties nor hesitations. Some people think a lot and once they get down to business, they screw it up, others succeed in everything without long meditations. There are skills of a special kind. Which manifests itself most effectively by facing hardships. Such amazing beings succeed in everything without thinking and after long meditation - nothing comes out of them; if it did not come out of the first, do not expect any benefit and do not rely on the future. Praise be to the quick, because as if by a miracle, they succeed everywhere - and they think quickly, and they are skilled at work.
""Viteza în decizii este urmarea unei fericite vioiciuni naturale. Pentru aceasta, iute și curajoasă, nu există nici dificultăți, nici ezitări. Unii oameni se gândesc mult și, odată ce s-au apucat de treabă, strică tot, alții reușesc în toate fără meditații îndelungate. Există aptitudini de un fel aparte. Care se manifestă cel mai eficient înfruntând greutăți. Unor asemenea ființe uimitoare le reușește totul pe negândite iar după ce meditează îndelung - nu le iese nimic; dacă nu a ieșit din prima, nu mai aștepta niciun folos și nu te baza pe viitor. Lăudați fie cei iuți, fiindcă ei ca printr-o minune, reușesc peste tot - și de gândit o fac repede, și la treabă sunt pricepuți."
