Think of how lucky you are. Be glad to be awake (because it’s better than the alternative, which we’ll all greet one day). Feel the joy of being able to do what you love. Cherish the time. But most of all, use it.
Discipline Is Destiny
Ryan Holiday
In the future most people will have no choice but to continuously learn new skills, so it will be essential to train students and adults about how to learn efficiently. With the technological revolution there are new opportunities to make teaching more effective.
Peak
Anders Ericsson, Robert Pool
Whenever I saw him, he’d say, “The ocean is God’s greatest and most beautiful creation.” When he did his daily swims off Long Beach, he meditated. He asked what I thought about when I swam, and I told him: I focused on my breath—on the sounds of my inhales and exhales; on the long streams of bubbles released into the water. I felt myself move through the water, and felt how it lifted and flowed around me. For hours I listened to the sounds of my hands capturing water and pulling me across the sea. Sometimes, I felt at one with the water. He told me that I meditated, too.
