Quotes by Anthony Metivier (?)

“Worry is deadly stuff and is directly tied to fear. In the words of the great Frank Herbert who wrote Dune, “fear is the mindkiller.” Worse, fear creates anxiety, stress, sickness and fatigue. Worry and fear corrode confidence and destroy competence.”
― Anthony Metivier, The Ultimate Language Learning Secret

“used to love telling people about my poor memory. When we do this, we essentially train the people around us to treat us this way, which reinforces our beliefs about our inefficient memories.”
