The chair is useful, stable, solid, comfortable. The chair supports and sustains us in performing many activities, but it has no initiative, takes no risks, does not reveal itself, has no goals.
The chair allows us to observe, but has no impetus. Focusing on expected results, trusting in actions, renewing oneself, especially with respect to problem solving, is the propeller toward progress.

I use this metaphor to emphasize the indispensability that our attitude be geared to, respecting the rules, taking initiative and action. Only action can be the bridge to success. In the current downward trend we have to give way to virtues and keep vices far away.
