“My objective is to create my own world and these images which we create mean nothing more than the images which they are. We have forgotten how to relate emotionally to art: we treat it like editors, searching in it for that which the artist has supposedly hidden. It is actually much simpler than that, otherwise art would have no meaning. You have to be a child—incidentally children understand my pictures very well, and I haven’t met a serious critic who could stand knee-high to those children. We think that art demands special knowledge; we demand some higher meaning from an author, but the work must act directly on our hearts or it has no meaning at all.” HeartChildrenArtUnderstandingEmotionEssenceUniversalCriticsSimplicityClarityMeaningWorldviewAccessibilityImagesBlaseOveranalysisUniversal Appeal Author:Andrei Tarkovsky
“There's scientific evidence for the satisfizer over the maximizer. Those who just get it done will generally be happier with the outcome and will be able to be more effective than those who try to maximize every decision and they hold off on it until they have the maximal amount of information. They are less happy with the outcome, whatever decision they do end up making, and that decision is only marginally optimal in most cases, and sometimes is even worse. So get into the habit of being decisive. It is going to make you more effective and happier.” Just Do ItPerfectionismPerfectionistGet It DoneOveranalysisOveranalysingOveranalyzingProcrastinationm Author:David Tian Ph.D
“To my surprise, it was a place where my thoughts were the most lucid. I wasn’t bogged down in random trivial details or the luxury of time-consuming over-analysis. This place forced you to live because at any moment, life could be lost. Ramadi forced me to die unto myself.” DeathIraqIraq WarTrivialityOveranalysisRamadi Book:Quixote in Ramadi: An Indigenous Account of Imperialism Source: Quixote in Ramadi: An Indigenous Account of Imperialism
