Time lost is time when we have not lived a full human life, time unenriched by experience, creative endeavor, enjoyment, and suffering. Time lost is time not filled, time left empty.

“Apparently, sir you Chinese are far ahead of us in every respect, except that you don’t have entrepreneurs.

Thousands and thousands of them. Especially in the field of technology. And these entrepreneurs—’’we’’ entrepreneurs—have set up all these outsourcing companies that virtually run America now.”

Hence the less pronounced will become the swarm-like appearance of entrepreneurs and the milder the cyclical movement.”
