Let us uncork some delightfully peculiar and pointedly witty observations that have graced these digital pages, proving that even in the most serious of times, absurdity (and sometimes, brilliance) finds a way.
On Growth, Learning, and Perspective:
"You don't need to worry about progressing slowly. You need to worry about climbing the wrong mountain."
"IN CONSTRUCTION Human beings are only healthy when they are still in construction (intellectually). Aging starts when they become a self-museum."
"To experience time travel, read. To achieve immortality, write."
"Take pride in your effort, not your talents. Your talents are a gift, you didn't do anything to earn them. You should take pride in what you do w/ them. True excellence comes from combining gifts with dedication and effort. (Working & studying hard/practicing consistently)"
"The game of life is the game of everlasting learning. At least it is if you want to win."
"The deepest insight into life: All benefits in life come from compound interest."
"You can compound knowledge faster than money."
"Re-reading is probably more important than reading. Seek to cognitively own a great book rather than just reading it."
"Acquiring knowledge is easy, the hard part is knowing what to apply and when. That’s why all true learning is “on the job.” Life is lived in the arena."
"The depth of your understanding is reflected in the simplicity of your explanations."
"Growth comes from reflection, not rumination. Mistakes don’t define you. They are part of the process - choose growth."
"The more he saw the less he spoke, The less he spoke, the more he heard, Why aren’t we all like that old bird?”
"You don’t have to have an opinion on everything—and shouldn’t listen to those who do."
