"Whatever you set your mind to do, you always should make the road before you wide open, so that all people may traverse it. This is the concern of a great man. If the way is narrow and perilous, so that others cannot go on it, then you yourself will not have any place to set foot either." - Huanglong, A Song dynasty zen master.
