“Learn to be good readers, which is perhaps a more difficult thing than you imagine. Learn to be discriminative in your reading; to read faithfully, and with your best attention, all kinds of things which you have a real interest in,--a real, not an imaginary,--and which you find to be really fit for what you are engaged in.” KindRealReadingDifficultInterestAttentionImagineReaderFitBe GoodAll KindsEngagedBeing RealImaginaryDifficult Things Book:The Works of Thomas Carlyle Source: The Works of Thomas Carlyle

“You want attention, you want to grab some of that airspace that exists out there in a world that's very difficult to get it because it's so competitive and to get it for more than a few seconds. Any attention is good and that can be what we would normally consider as bad attention so I wanted to make you aware of that dynamic.” WorldWantWantedDifficultAttentionSeconds Author:Robert Greene

“Small acts can drive reforms. What appears minor can actually be vital and fundamental. Generating 20,000 MW of power attracts a lot of attention. That is important. At the same time, 20,000 MW of power can be saved through a people's movement for energy efficiency. The second is more difficult but is as important as the first.

“Sadly most films only get exposure if they win an award or were in a festival, which is really difficult because those things cost money! Submitting your film to a festival or campaigning for an Oscar or a Golden Globe is very expensive. Most people don't know that, but all those events require a lot of money. If you have a small independent film, it's very hard to get the attention of people in those circles.” PeopleIfsKnowsHardFilmWinningDifficultAttentionEventsCostIndependentCirclesGoldenExpensiveAwardsLots Of MoneyGlobesOscarsExposureFestivalsIndependent FilmCampaigning Author:Kate del Castillo
“It is amazing how little effort most people make to improve control of their attention. If reading a book seems too difficult, instead of sharpening concentration we tend to set it aside and instead turn on the television, which not only requires minimal attention, but in fact tends to diffuse what little it commands with choppy editing, commercial interruptions, and generally inane content.” PeopleIfsLittlesBookFactsSeemsTurnsReadingDifficultEffortAttentionTelevisionCommandConcentrationEditingTurn-onInterruptionsSharpening Author:Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
