When Icarus was falling he thought:
- Why did I listen to Daedalus, my father?
- What if I had used more wax on my wings?
- What if my wings actually float?
- Where did I leave my earplugs?
- Why didn't I took those swimming lessons?
- When will I reach the water surface?
- How high did I achieved raising before falling?
- Does the sun hate me?
- Why didn't the clouds help me?
- What if I had used knots instead of wax?
- What if I waited until night time?
- Am I a good person?
- What if...? And he hit the water's surface and sunk.
But truth is, wisdom always comes to us when stubborness is left aside and the mind is open. Icarus had a dream but he couldn't listen to wisdom. I know that if I close my eyes and ears and shut my mind and just listen to wisdom I will know what will be the right thing to do, no matter how dumb or false it may sound, it will be the only way I'll triumph... Listen to wisdom before taking any step. And wisdom may come from within as inspiration, but careful! Don't mistake inner wisdom with creativity.... Creativity made Icarus' wonderful wings but wisdom would have made them useful.
