“One of my heroes, almost necessarily from what I'm saying, of course, is Borges, who is a supreme master of doing thing -- being a data bank -- and the beauty of this economy is that he could have written War and Peace in three or four pages; who knows, it might have been a better book.” KnowsHas BeensBookWarMightThreeCoursesEconomyFourWrittenMastersHeroPagesSupremeDataMight Have BeenMy HeroBorges Author:Peter Greenaway

“Each of us plays four roles in relation to the brain. We lead, we inspire, we invent, and we use it. Most people do not actively use their brains. They passively let their feelings and thoughts control their lives. They don't invent new ways to use their brains, either, settling instead for the same routine and repetitive thoughts every day. But if you master all four roles, you create your super brain. When you are the active observer of your feelings and thoughts, you become the user of your brain. Your super brain then serves you, not vice versa.” PeopleIfsWayPlayUseFeelingsBrainRolesFourInspireMastersRelationVicesActiveSettlingRoutineUsersNew WaysObserversVice VersaRepetitive Author:Deepak Chopra
