True self is non-self, the awareness that the self is made only of non-self elements. There's no separation between self and other, and everything is interconnected. Once you are aware of that you are no longer caught in the idea that you are a separate entity.

Thich Nhat Hanh

True genius, in strategy or anywhere, lies in self-control, self-mastery, presence of mind, fluidity of thought.

Robert Greene
