Join 📚 Christian Champ's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Christian's read, .
How much time and emotional energy we'd save if we simply learned to ask ourselves why they acted as they did, rather than judge, make presumptions, and react. And how much money we'd save on bills for our shrink if we paused to ask the same about our own actions and motivations.
Don't forget the why, I write down and repeat silently to myself. I don't even want to think about the number of times I've done things just because. I know in theory that I should know the reason I make any choice, but how often I've simply acted, in the hurry of acting, without stopping to reflect.

"Knowing how to keep friends is harder than acquiring them...There is no desert like a life without friends: friendship multiplies blessings and divides troubles."

his popular TED Talks on creativity, Sir Ken Robinson emphasizes the importance of taking risks and making mistakes. “If you’re not prepared to be wrong, you’ll never come up with anything original,” he explains. “We’re running education systems where mistakes are the worst thing you can make. We’re educating people out of their creative capacities.”
