“Just go out and have a look around. Things are simple in nature: resiliency is needed to protect from cold, wet, hunger, from all small and big difficulties. Look at nature and learn. Remember that day in childhood when you found some small pieces of wood in a spring ... they turned out to be protection for a tiny fragile creature inside to be able to fly one day.”
