Join 📚 Swapnil's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Swapnil's read, .
There’s a scene in the movie *Lawrence of Arabia* in which Lawrence puts out a match with his fingers and doesn’t flinch. Another man watching tries to do the same and yells in pain.
“It hurts! What’s the trick, then?” he asks.
“The trick is not minding that it hurts,” Lawrence says.
This is one of the most useful life skills—enduring the pain when necessary rather than assuming there’s a hack, or a shortcut, around it.

There’s an added bonus to Homework for Life. It’s unrelated to storytelling, but it’s worth mentioning. It might just be the most important reason to do the exercise. As you begin to take stock of your days, find those moments — see them and record them — time will begin to slow down for you. The pace of your life will relax.
