“I don't go out of my way to get noticed. When I'm in Scotland it's tough, because loads of people come up to me. They're always really polite. It's nice, it's fun and good to speak to people who aren't involved in tennis, but some have this habit of just staring at me and that makes me really self-conscious. I'd rather they came up and said hello.” PeopleWaySaidSelfSpeakFunNiceHabitInvolvedConsciousToughCome UpMy WayStaringTennisLoadPoliteScotlandHelloSelf Conscious Author:Andy Murray

I would say that it's related to daydreaming.

“As you become more conscious of your cruelty, of your violence, gross and subtle, you start becoming more and more compassionate. Not that you cultivate compassion. Just by becoming aware of your cruelty, violence, ugliness... the very awareness brings new changes in you. And the energy that was involved in cruelty, in violence, starts changing. The same energy becomes purified, the same energy becomes compassion.” EnergyCompassionViolenceAwarenessBecomingInvolvedConsciousCrueltySubtleCompassionateGrossUglinessBecoming More Author:Rajneesh
