QOTD - Cheer Up, It Will Only Get Worse!


"Each success only buys an admission ticket to a more difficult problem." Henry Kissinger, American diplomat
In other words: Keep Calm and Carry On, bearing in mind that, should you push through the current difficulties and conquer them, you are only going to be earning your way to worse. 

Is this a rueful comment on his own career? If it is, instead, an example of diplomacy, it must have been in aid of something rather grim.

Rather than bolstering me, I find it discouraging to think that someone as successful as Kissinger should have lacked a degree of satisfaction in accomplishment and seen only bigger mountains demanding to be climbed.
