“وفي قوة قهر الهوى لذَّةٌ تزيد على كل لذَّةٌ.
ألا ترى إلى كل مغلوبٍ بالهوى كيف يكون ذليلاً؟ ... لأنه قٌهِرَ.
بخلاف غالِبِ الهوى ، فإنه يكون قويَّ القلبِ ، عزيزاً لأنه قَهَر.”
― ابن الجوزي, صيد الخاطر

“Most people overestimate what they can do in a day, and underestimate what they can do in a month. We overestimate what we can do in a year, and underestimate what we can accomplish in a decade." by Matthew Kelly from the book The Long View”

“Extroverts are more likely to take a quick-and-dirty approach to problem-solving, trading accuracy for speed, making increasing numbers of mistakes as they go, and abandoning ship altogether when the problem seems too difficult or frustrating. Introverts think before they act, digest information thoroughly, stay on task longer, give up less easily, and work more accurately. Introverts and extroverts also direct their attention differently: if you leave them to their own devices, the introverts tend to sit around wondering about things, imagining things, recalling events from their past, and making plans for the future. The extroverts are more likely to focus on what's happening around them. It's as if extroverts are seeing "what is" while their introverted peers are asking "what if.”

“Sensitive people care when the world doesn't because we understand waiting to be rescued and no one shows up. We have rescued ourselves, so many times that we have become self taught in the art of compassion for those forgotten.”
