Visionaries see in decades; opportunists see in quarters.

The difference between those who shape the future and those who react is thinking beyond immediate returns. Only those who plan for decades leave something worth remembering.

The fundamental distinction between those who build and those who exploit is measured in time. Opportunists act within the cycle of immediate incentives, optimizing for what is rewarded now. Their focus is reactionary, dictated by external conditions rather than internal conviction. In contrast, those who fundamentally alter industries, institutions, and ideas operate on a different scale. They do not respond to circumstances; they redefine them.
