“Regard yourself as a small corporation of one. Take yourself off on team-building exercises (long walks). Hold a Christmas party every year at which you stand in the corner of your writing room, shouting very loudly to yourself while drinking a bottle of white wine. Then masturbate under the desk. The following day you will feel a deep and cohering sense of embarrassment.” FeelsWritingYearsLongWhiteWalksRoomsPartyTeamBuildingExerciseRegardWineDrinkingFollowingCornersCorporationsBottlesDesksEmbarrassmentTeam BuildingShoutingLong WalksChristmas PartyWhite Wine Author:Will Self
“One of the reasons why I, 'a medical man' decided to give up medicine was a firm conviction of the extraordinary influence on health of pleasurable excitement, especially when combined with fresh air and exercise. How frequently have I, with great difficulty, persuaded patients who were never off my doorsteps to take up golf, and how rarely, if ever, I have seen them in my consulting room again.” IfsMenGivingReasonRoomsAirInfluenceExerciseGiving UpDecidedDifficultyMedicineGolfExtraordinaryPatientConvictionMedicalFirmReason WhyExcitementFresh AirConsultingDoorstep Author:Alister MacKenzie
“Most of actor's work is done at home, in your hotel room, in the wee hours of the morning thinking and reading and feeling, walking around and listening to music.

“There is an exercise I teach at colleges: Get yourself a canvas and a bunch of acrylics and go into a very dimly lighted room. Dip a brush into one of the colors, slap it on the canvas, don't look, close your eyes, make a painting, don't look, turn the lights on and see what you've got. I think this releases people from the editor in their life that's always standing over their shoulder saying, "Oh, you don't have any talent; who do you think you are?"” PeopleThinkingLooksLightEyeTurnsRoomsTeachTalentCollegeColorPaintingExerciseStandingShouldersBunchReleaseEditorsCanvasBrushesSlapDip Author:Buffy Sainte-Marie

“The real test is this one: When you're alone in a room, when you're in a private place and nobody else can see you, what do you choose to do? Eat well, or eat poorly? Exercise, or watch television? Practice something, or do nothing? The best version of the truth appears to you and you alone, when nobody else can see. This is the test of discipline, and it's what makes the difference in your life. It's what regulates your own system and guides it. The individual alone comprehends it.” WellsRealIndividualDifferencesRoomsWatchesPracticeTelevisionDisciplineExerciseTestsGuidesVersionsYou Choose Author:Georges St-Pierre
