“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.”
Hafiz of Shiraz

“Imagine that while scuba diving, you suddenly see a shark glide into view. Your heart starts to pound and your anxiety skyrockets. You’re terrified, which is a perfectly rational and understandable feeling. Now imagine that your marine biology training enables you to identify it as a Reef Shark, which you know doesn’t prey on anything as large as you. Your anxiety disappears. Instead you feel excited and curious to observe the shark’s behavior.”
Douglas Stone, Difficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters Most

Cal Newport
“Ericsson notes that for a novice, somewhere around an hour a day of intense concentration seems to be a limit, while for experts this number can expand to as many as four hours—but rarely more.”
Cal Newport, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World

David Whyte
“Self-doubt is that part of the soul that is able to taste the bitter in life as well as the sweet. It is open to a side of life that a sunny disposition must ignore in order to carry on smiling. It is less interested in pretense and more aware of the suffering entailed in daily living. It is realistic about the balance of suffering and happiness, but because of this realism is willing to be thankful for whatever genuine happiness is possible. It celebrates the melancholy nature of aloneness, but because of its refusal to shirk aloneness knows the worth of a real relationship.”
David Whyte, The Heart Aroused: Poetry and the Preservation of the Soul in Corporate America

Daniel H. Pink
“Management isn’t about walking around and seeing if people are in their offices,” he told me. It’s about creating conditions for people to do their best work.”
Daniel H. Pink, Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us
