NARRATIVE SOURCE : Greek proverb

Όπιος  δεν έχει μιαλό, έχει πόδια’
(He who has no brain -has feet.)

Used as a quip to tease someone about

exerting unnecessary effort or being forgetful
(similar to ‘work smarter, not harder’)

INTERNALIZATION : I realized that I’ve acquired the belief that being

successful means being intelligent enough to find ways

to avoid physical labor or excessive struggle;

but great ideas that are not supported by action,

are like flowers in a vase, destined to wilt.
