“I was very focused, driven, rigid, work-oriented. I didn't care about having a family or making a home. I didn't think about kids. It's not that I didn't want those things, I just didn't think about them. And then I had someone who came in as a tornado, this creative, beautiful ball of insane energy and passion. And it completely opened me up.” ThinkingWantHomeCareKidsBeautifulPassionEnergyCreativeBallsFocusedDrivenInsaneTornadoes Author:Susan Downey

“I got into medical school at the University of California in San Francisco and did well. A lot of smart kids in medical school, and believe me, I wasn't not nearly the smartest one, but I was the most focused and the happiest kid in medical school.

“I guess for me, balance isn't about treating your time like a pie chart and dividing it into equally sized slices for you, the kids, work, and so on. It's about the quality of how you spend your time, not the quantity--are you being present and focused on whatever you're doing while you're doing it? I truly believe that's how you can be the best version of yourself, whether you're in work mode, mom mode, or wife mode. When I know I'm giving my undivided attention in each of these areas, I don't feel so guilty about the time spent away from them.” KnowsGivingFeelsBelieveKidsAttentionQualityWifeMomBalanceAreasFocusedVersionsGuiltyBeing The BestQuantityPieDividingTime SpentUndivided Attention Book:The Honest Life (Enhanced Edition): Living Naturally and True to You Source: The Honest Life (Enhanced Edition): Living Naturally and True to You
“For years I've been interested in a fundamental question concerning what I call the psychology of evil: Why is it that good people do evil deeds? I've been interested in that question since I was a little kid. Growing up in the ghetto in the South Bronx, I had lots of friends who I thought were good kids, but for one reason or another they ended up in serious trouble. They went to jail, they took drugs, or they did terrible things to other people. My whole upbringing was focused on trying to understand what could have made them go wrong.” PeopleTryingYearsLittlesMadeReasonWholeKidsEvilGrowing UpPsychologyGrowingTroubleSeriousTerribleDrugFundamentalsSouthDeedsFocusedJailGood PeopleLittle KidTerrible ThingsUpbringingGhettoLots Of FriendsBronxKids Growing Up Author:Philip Zimbardo
