The Wingless Owl

What's the most important thing in cultivating immortality?

Talent? Insight? Resources?

No. The most important thing is ruthlessness: being ruthless enough to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. Be ruthless to your enemies, ruthless to your loved ones, and even more ruthless to yourself.

When driven to the brink, a crazed gambler will stake everything, even their life. Win, and they rise to wealth and glory. Lose, and they die, body and soul.
