Baltasar Gracián: Attempt easy Tasks as if they were difficult, and difficult as if they were…

Attempt easy Tasks as if they were difficult, and difficult as if they were easy. In the one case that confidence may not fall asleep, in the other that it may not be dismayed.

In today’s wordsApproach easy tasks as if they were hard, and hard tasks as if they were easy: in the first case so confidence doesn't fall asleep, in the second so it isn't dismayed.
