Josh Waitzkin
“My chess rivals were taking lessons, competing at every weekend tournament, while I was on a boat crashing through big waves. But I would come back with new ideas and a full tank of energy and determination. The ocean has always healed me…”
Josh Waitzkin, The Art of Learning: A Journey in the Pursuit of Excellence

Alan W. Watts
“To put it in another way, at each moment we are what we experience, and there is no real possibility of being other than what we are. Wisdom therefore consists in accepting what we are, rather than in struggling fruitlessly to be something else, as if it were possible to run away from one’s own feet.”
Alan W. Watts, The Meaning of Happiness: The Quest for Freedom of the Spirit in Modern Psychology and the Wisdom of the East

Josh Waitzkin
“Musicians, actors, athletes, philosophers, scientists, writers understand that brilliant creations are often born of small errors.”
Josh Waitzkin, The Art of Learning: An Inner Journey to Optimal Performance

Josh Waitzkin
“Great ones are willing to get burned time and again as they sharpen their swords in the fire.”
Josh Waitzkin, The Art of Learning: A Journey in the Pursuit of Excellence

“Not only we have to be good at waiting, we have to love it. Because waiting is not waiting, it is life.”
