Who Should Be Watered? / by Alexander Lyadov

Sequoia by Nathan Lee

I am best at helping those who would succeed even without me.

Sounds like a paradox, but judge for yourself.

It's useless to train an athlete who has given up the fight.

The gardener wastes water by watering a tree that hasn't taken root.

No efforts will make a poodle rip the throat of a thug.

In other words, you should only water what grows on its own.

Example: hydrogen peroxide H202 under the influence of daylight.

Hydrogen peroxide slowly decomposes into water and atomic oxygen.

But add potassium permanganate KMnO4, and the peroxide literally "boils."

The process was happening naturally, but the catalyst dramatically accelerated it.

The founders will embody their vision because that's their essence.

Like a catalyst, my role is modest—to reduce their time by X times.

Yours sincerely,

-Alexander
