(It's an) optical delusion of our consciousness whereby we experience ourselves as something separate from the rest. We become more human through realizing that we do not see the World as it is but as we are. No human being has a privileged view of reality.

Albert Einstein

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things. And the reason they were able to do that was that they’ve had more experiences or they have thought more about their experiences than other people.

Steve Jobs

Seth Godin

And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We’re always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it’s only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.

Steve Jobs

Discipline is doing what you really do not want to do, so you can do what you really want to do.

Action is the foundational key to all succes.

Picasso

When we have our body and mind in order, everything else will exist in the right place, in the right way.

Shunryu Suzuki

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.
