The pair of leather shoes that can still get shined after 10 years, the AK-47 that just needs a good hose-down in the backyard and a quick dip in a vat of motor oil: The quality of a thing is measured by its capacity to endure maintenance.
But if change and improvement according to surroundings is the mark of an individual's quality, what's that make of con-artists? Who's to say politicians aren't the highest ranking people?
The structure and simplistic design of the AK-47 is the trademark of the iconic rifle. Without a strong structure, the shoes would fall apart in just a few months. So, what's structure and simplicity for mankind?
His or her guiding principles.
Methodologies change. Principles do not. The less complex and diverse the principles are, the more focus and attention we can give to them, thus making them stronger each day we use them.With strong principles, adapting to outside change is easy and takes almost no effort.
The quality of a person is measured by their willingness to continuously improve their practices according to their changeless principles.
