I can think! I can Wait! I can Fast!

based on Tim Ferriss Blog on the book : Siddhartha by Herman Hesse

Siddhartha : " I can think, I can wait, I can fast"

Merchant   : " of what use are they? "

Siddhartha :"It is of great value , Sir. 

                    If a man has nothing to eat,

                    fasting is the most intelligent thing he can do.

                    If for instance, Siddhartha had not learned to fast

                    he would have to seek some kind of work

                    either with you or else whre

                    for hunger would have driven him

                    But as it is : Siddhartha can wait calmly.

                    he is not impatient. he is not in need.

                    he can ward-off hunger for a long time and laugh at it!
