The Mark of the Immature Man Is That He Wants To Die Nobly for a Cause, While the Mark of the Mature Man Is That He Wants To Live Humbly for One

I grew up with Gandhi and Bhagat Singh. I grew up revering martyrdom. So, I say this with trepidation. This resonates more. I want to live and experience and live humbly. I thought that growing up, I wanted fame - specifically to be known for being great at something. However, the experience is in living humbly honing your craft. To be a shokunin.

So, when I saw this quote today, I had to stop everything and write it down for myself as I have to repeat this every day. I want to live humbly for my cause - to build in peace, to be content, to experience life and be content.
