“I have a terrible problem with procrastination. A friend told me, "Well, you should go to therapy." And I thought about it, but then I said, "Wait a minute. Why should I pay a stranger to listen to me talk when I can get strangers to pay to listen to me talk?" And that's when I got the idea of touring.” ShouldWellsSaidI CanIdeasProblemWaitingPayMinutesTerribleStrangerTherapyProcrastinationShould ITouringListen To Me Author:Ellen DeGeneres

“Many years before when I had serious back pain from a sports injury, the surgeons said they would explore my spine and "figure it out." Out of frustration I had impulsively opted for the procedure. They ended up fusing the vertebrae. It left me debilitated. In hindsight, I blamed myself more than the surgeons. I had pressed them for a solution when in fact none was apparent because the cause of the pain was obscure.” YearsSaidFactsPainLeftCausesSportsFiguresSeriousSolutionsTherapyInjuryFrustrationObscureProceduresSurgeonsSpineHindsightBack Pain Author:Jerome Groopman
“In fact, on one occasion, a rather pedantic experimental psychologist was telling him about a long, complicated experiment he had done, incorporating all the proper controls and using considerable technical virtuosity. When he saw Crick's exasperated expression he said, "but Dr. Crick, we have got it right - we know it's right," Crick's response was, "The point is not whether it's right. The point is: does it even matter whether its right or wrong?"” KnowsLongDoeSaidMatterDoneFactsPainSawsExpressionResponseComplicatedExperimentsOccasionsTherapyInjuryDrsPsychologistIncorporatingPedanticVirtuosity Author:Vilayanur S.
