“Whenever I'm faced with a difficult decision, I ask myself, 'What would I do if I weren't afraid of making a mistake? Feeling rejected? looking foolish? Or being alone?' I know for sure that when you remove the fear, the answer that you've been searching for comes into focus and as you walk into your fear, you should know for sure that your deepest struggle can, if you're willing and open, produce your greatest strength.” IfsKnowsShouldFeelingsAsksDifficultDecisionAnswersWalksMistakeStruggleFocusProduceWillingFoolishMaking MistakesRemoveRejectedDifficult Decisions Book:What I Know For Sure Source: What I Know For Sure
“Rise early, that by habit it may become familiar, agreeable, healthy, and profitable.

“The great constructive energies of the child ... have hitherto been concealed beneath an accumulation of ideas concerning motherhood. We used to say it was the mother who formed the child; for it is she who teaches him to walk, talk, and so on. But none of this is really done by the mother. It is an achievement of the child. What the mother brings forth is the baby, but it is the baby who produces the man. Should the mother die, the baby still grows up and completes his work of making the man.” MenShouldChildrenStillsIdeasDoneUsedMotherDiesEnergyGrowsGrowthWalksTeachGrowing UpProduceHe ManBabyAchievementMotherhoodConstructiveAccumulationConcealed Author:Maria Montessori
“To say that gender is performative is a little different because for something to be performative means that it produces a series of effects.

“The brain has an attentional mode called the "mind wandering mode" that was only recently identified. This is when thoughts move seamlessly from one to another, often to unrelated thoughts, without you controlling where they go. This brain state acts as a neural reset button, allowing us to come back to our work with a refreshed perspective. Different people find they enter this mode in different ways: reading, a walk in nature, looking at art, meditating, and napping. A 15-minute nap can produce the equivalent of a 10-point boost in IQ.” PeopleWayMindArtDifferentStatesMovingReadingWalksBrainMinutesProducePerspectiveWanderDifferent WaysAllowingButtonsDifferent PeoplesWithout YouNapsMeditatingBoostResetWalks In NatureReset Button Author:Daniel Levitin
“We need to have nature back in our atmosphere. There might be a turning point of going backward - within a few thousand years we are going back to the Stone Age! There are many scenarios [with] the robot technologies: Humans no longer need to walk; machines can produce products and food and everything.
