Ὁ βίος βραχύς, ἡ δὲ τέχνη μακρή

Thought for the day:

Ὁ βίος βραχύς, ἡ δὲ τέχνη μακρή, ὁ δὲ καιρὸς ὀξύς, ἡ δὲ πεῖρα σφαλερή, ἡ δὲ κρίσις χαλεπή.

Life is short, skill is long, opportunity fleeting, experimentation perilous, judgment difficult.

Hippocrates

Here’s to all you pursuing the skill, seizing the opportunity, trying the experiment, and making the hard calls. (Note that τέχνη is often translated as “art”, but actually means “technique”, “technology”, “craft”, or “skill” rather than “fine art”.)
