Walk a tightrope with your head tilted to the left.
Or squat with a barbell while placing a weight plate under one foot.
How far can your Bugatti go if the brake pedal sticks?
Asymmetry is usually short-lived. Heated liquid releases warmth into the air until its temperature matches the environment. When you overheat, you sweat. When you freeze, you shiver.
Tilt, imbalance, and asymmetry define a system’s transition from state A to state B. This shift is dangerous when beyond your control and sudden.
In business, this means:
It’s better to trigger inevitable transformations yourself.
You build opposing forces into the system to keep it stable.
Ultimate mastery is the art of harmonizing elements that repel each other, clash fiercely, and can blow everything apart:
Competition and cooperation.
Discipline and spontaneity.
Strength and vulnerability.
Tradition and innovation.
Freedom and constraint.
Analysis and synthesis.
Logic and intuition.
Risk and security.
Trust and control.
Past and future.
Yours sincerely,
-Alexander
