Walk a fine line between flexibility & consistency. A strategist must have faith in his strategy and the courage to follow it through and still be open-minded enough to realize when a change of course is required.
Garry Kasparov
Live on, survive, for the earth gives forth wonders. It may swallow your heart, but the wonders keep on coming. You stand before them bareheaded, shriven. What is expected of you is attention.
Salman Rushdie
Spend some time in your mind. Sit down, close eyes, palms upward on knees. What an empty cavern! Fill it with the realization that without your mind, you would be just another sack of shit. Then think of something else.
2 + 2 = 5 always gets me
Human thought is still best described by metaphor, poetry, & other literary devices to express what we do not fully understand. Experience is a matter of sensibility & intuition, of seeing & hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments.
Garry Kasparov
Time of great explorers has passed but there are still precious territories to discover. We can explore the boundaries of our own lives. But before we go exploring we’ll need a map telling which areas of mind are still uncharted.
