3 IDEAS FROM ME

I.

“The quality of your thoughts is determined by the quality of your reading. Spend more time thinking about the inputs.”


​II.

“To understand others, watch what they reward.

To understand yourself, watch what you envy.”


III.

“What you push down doesn’t vanish. It festers and wields quiet power over your thoughts and actions.

What needs to be addressed that isn’t currently being addressed?”

2 QUOTES FROM OTHERS

I.

Social media consultant Charles Miller on balance:

“Spend a handful of hours a day going fast. Crush a gym session. Do deep work on a project you care about. Spend the rest of the day going slow. Take walks. Read books. Get a long dinner with friends. Either way, avoid the anxious middle where you never truly relax or truly move forward.”

​II.

Architect and furniture designer Eileen Gray on thinking for yourself:

“To create, one must first question everything. Never adopt someone else's conclusion without putting it to the test of your own reasoning and imagination.”
