“I read, read enormously on all different fields of Islamic thought, from philosophy to Islamic literature, poetry, exegeses, knowledge of the Hadith, the teachings of the prophet.

“I have an argument that to master any field, it's simple: it's a function of time. How much you devote yourself to the process, how much experience you get, how much you're willing to expand your limits, how willing you are to develop your own style. If you're willing to put 10,000 hours, something amazing is going to happen.” IfsHappensProcessHoursSimpleStyleFieldsWillingMastersLimitsArgumentFunction Author:Robert Greene

“The study of how substances alter gene expression is part of the field of epigenetics. Some chemical exposures appear to turn on and turn off genes in ways that disregulate cell growth and predispose for cancer. From this perspective, our genes are less the command-and-control masters of our cells and more like the keys of piano, with the environment as the hands of the pianist.” WayHandsTurnsGrowthStudyEnvironmentFieldsExpressionMastersPerspectiveKeysEnvironmentalCancerCommandCellsSubstancePianoChemicalsGenesPollutionExposureTurn-onPianistTurn OffCommand And Control Book:Living Downstream: An Ecologist's Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment Source: Living Downstream: An Ecologist's Personal Investigation of Cancer and the Environment

“Singing about your sadness unburdens your soul. But the blues hollers shouted about more than being sad. They were also delivering messages in musical code. If the master was coming, you might sing a hidden warning to the other field hands . . . The blues could warn you what was coming. I could see the blues was about survival.” IfsSoulHandsMightSadnessFieldsMastersMessagesSurvivalSingingMusicalYour SoulCodeWarningDeliveringBeing Sad Author:B. B. King
“You're always struggling because you're not playing on a 53-and-a-third by a 120-yard field. You're not playing on a baseball diamond. With golf, every field is different and every atmosphere is different. The grass is different. The weather is different. You're outside. You're not in a stadium. There are so many different variables, so you never master golf. So, I think good athletes like a challenge.” ThinkingDifferentChallengesStruggleFieldsMastersBaseballThirdsGolfAthleteWeatherAtmosphereGrassDiamondYardsStadiumsVariablesGood Athlete Author:Jack Nicklaus

“All you have to do is go back to slavery - days, and there were two types of slaves, the house slave and the field slave. The house slave was the one who believed in the master, who had confidence in the master and usually was very friendly with the master. And usually he was also used by the master to try and keep the other slaves pacified.” TryingTwoUsedHouseFieldsMastersTypeSlaverySlaveFriendly Author:Malcolm X
