“Your mood interacts with the people around you, and you can spread it like a virus.” Quote by Eric Overby
“If you knew that you would die in 14 days, what would you do? What about a year? What about 25 years? My guess is, in each circumstance, that everyone would miss as much of their life as they do now. If you are in a habit of mindlessly putting your pennies into the slot machine, you will do it until your pockets are empty. This is why paying attention is so important.” Note To SelfDeath And LoveLose YourselfMissing LifeTime And AttentionAttention Quotes Pay AttentionPresence And Mindfulness Quotes Author:Eric Overby
“Much of my day can consist of me being lost in thoughts. An equal amount of the day can be lost in scrolling a Facebook feed, mindless and solitary in a room full of people. Now add in the amount of time that I sleep. This is the recipe for a lot of time with little attention.” Pay AttentionSocial Media QuotesMissing OutNote To SelfLosing TimeScrollingTime And AttentionWhat Is A Penny Worth Author:Eric Overby

“Some years ago, I was lucky enough invited to a gathering of great and good people: artists and scientists, writers and discoverers of things. And I felt that at any moment they would realise that I didn’t qualify to be there, among these people who had really done things. On my second or third night there, I was standing at the back of the hall, while a musical entertainment happened, and I started talking to a very nice, polite, elderly gentleman about several things, including our shared first name. And then he pointed to the hall of people, and said words to the effect of, “I just look at all these people, and I think, what the heck am I doing here? They’ve made amazing things. I just went where I was sent.” And I said, “Yes. But you were the first man on the moon. I think that counts for something.” And I felt a bit better. Because if Neil Armstrong felt like an imposter, maybe everyone did. Maybe there weren’t any grown-ups, only people who had worked hard and also got lucky and were slightly out of their depth, all of us doing the best job we could, which is all we can really hope for.” InspirationalMotivationalScience FictionAuthorImpostor SyndromeImpostorNeil Armstrong Author:Neil Gaiman
