“The deep down question is: Where do you put your attention? (which is the only resource we really have in the end). Where do you invest your attention? And does that make life better for you, for people you care about, for your community, or for communities that may be distant from you but that you care about a lot for whatever reason?”

“There are at least two sets of Rules for Life, as far as I can tell. There are the ones that get you picked up by the cops or taken to the assistant principal's office if you break them: Don't leave school grounds, don't spray paint stop signs, don't drink, ,don't drop firecrackers in the toliets. But there's a different set that you really can't break if you don't want your life to suck relentlessly. At the head of the list, Rule Number One: Don't get noticed. As long as you stay exactly the person everyone thinks you're supposed to be, you're fine.”
