“Creativity doesn’t come from glancing quickly at your Twitter feed while in line at Starbucks. It comes from deep thought. It comes from voraciously reading books—long books that require focused attention. It comes from meaningful discourse with other intellectually curious people.

“Whether advanced driver training helps drivers in the long term is one of those controversial and unresolved mysteries of the road, but my eye-opening experience at Bondurant raises the curious idea that we buy cars—for most people one of the most costly things they will ever own—with an underdeveloped sense of how to use them. This is true for many things, arguably, but not knowing what the F9 key does in Microsoft Word is less life-threatening than not knowing how to properly operate antilock brakes.” PeopleLongDoeIdeasHelpingUseEyeTermKnowingMysteryCarKeysTrainingRaisesOpeningCuriousLong TermDriversNot KnowingThreateningControversialMicrosoftBrakeEye OpeningMicrosoft Word Author:Tom Vanderbilt
“Someone once told me a story about long term relationships. To think of them as a continent to explore. I could spend a lifetime backpacking through Africa, and I would still never know all there is to know about that continent. To stay the course, to stay intentional, to stay curious and connected - that's the heart of it. But it's so easy to lose track of the trail, to get tired, to want to give up, or to want a new adventure. It can be so easy to lose sight of the goodness and mystery within the person sitting right in front of you.” ThinkingKnowsWantGivingHeartPersonsLongStillsStoriesCoursesEasyTermLosesMysteryFrontsAdventureGoodnessGiving UpSittingSightTiredLifetimeTrackConnectedCuriousLong TermContinentsTrailsBackpackingLong Term RelationshipNew Adventure Author:Joy Williams
