Motivation comes from within You shouldn’t have to look to others to provide you with your source of motivation. True, meaningful motivation must come from within. You must have a deep seated desire to accomplish your goals. If you aren’t filled with passion for what you do and you aren’t intrinsically motivated then there are no words that another […]
Secrecy I have grown to love secrecy. It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it. When I leave town now I never tell my people where I am going. If I did, I would lose all my […]
You’re still a rat The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat. Lily Tomlin
The busy trap Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance, a hedge against emptiness; obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or trivial or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day…. I can’t help but wonder whether all this histrionic exhaustion isn’t a way of covering up the fact […]

Not all men dream equally All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

Moths and Success Imagine if every business were a lightbulb and that for each lightbulb the primary goal was to attract the most moths possible. Now what if you learned that 49% of the reason moths were attracted to the bulb was for the quality of its light (brightness being the task of the bulb) and that 51% […]
